Password Protecting and Encrypting MS Office & Zip Files

How to Encrypt Excel / Word Files

1. Open the MS Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file you want to encrypt and password protect.

2. Select the FILE tab.

3. Select Info > Protect Document, Workbook, or Presentation > Encrypt with Password

4. Enter the password to be used to access the file in the future.

5. Click OK, and reenter the same password.

6. Click OK. The file is now encrypted and requires this password to open it.

To reverse this, repeat the steps without entering a password. Save the document and it will no longer require a password to open it.
