Protecting a document with a password

A document password protects against unauthorized people opening the document. When a document is password-protected, you must provide the correct password each time you open the document.

Note: If you assign a password to a template document, you must provide the password every time you create a new document using that template.

Creating a document password

To create a document password:
1 Choose Properties from the File menu.
2 Click Set Password.
3 Type a password, then click OK.
Note: Document passwords are case-sensitive. AppleWorks considers "My Password" to be different from "my password."
4 Retype the password to confirm it.

Changing or deleting a document password

To change or delete a document password:
1 Choose Properties from the File menu.
2 Click Set Password.
3 Type the current password, then click OK.
4 Type a new password (or leave blank to delete the password), then click OK.
5 Retype the new password to confirm it.
