How do i lock or password protect documents in Microsoft Office 2007?

[hebechan]

How can i lock one or more documents in Word in MS Office 2007? Also, how to lock folders and files or seperate pictures and photos?

I dont want to use 3rd party software like file-locker etc...Is there any default method right in Word or somewhere?

word / office just lets you protect files, not folders, if you want folder protection or protection on a global way on the system then you'll need to use bitlocker or similar
after all word is a word processor, not an encryption suite and there's plenty of free alternatives out there like trucrypt and such if you really need it

Well I don't know about the MS Word. But there i a built-in function to lock your file.
But I think Briefcase will be locked. You should try to make a file and save in Briefcase. Then there will be an option that lock your files.
