Once you have completed your document there are only a few simple steps required to protect it. First left-click on the "Tools" menu and then select "Options" from the drop down menu.
On the "Options" screen that appears you must left-click on the 'Security' tab to display the window shown below.
Once you have clicked on the 'Security Tab' you must enter a password in the 'Password to Open:' box. Doing this prevents anyone from being able to open the document without the password you assign.
Remember to use a unique password that will not be easy for someone else to figure out.
Click on OK once you have chosen a password. The window shown below will appear asking you to verify the password you entered.
Once you have done this save the document as you normally would and forward it as usual.
