Word can let you create two passwords for a single document or set of
documents. You can create a
password to modify and a password to only open and browse a document without
modifying it.
Create a password to open:
In the Password to open box, type a password, and then click OK.
In the Reenter password to open box, type the password again, and then click
OK.
Create a password to modify
In the Password to modify box, type a password, and then click OK.
In the Reenter password to modify box, type the password again, and then click
OK.
A handy security tip here:
Tip
To create a long password * up to 255 characters * click Advanced, and select
an RC4 encryption type.

I am trying to save a document where I have the ability to let someone open
it but not change it. Word has an option where one can have someone use a
password to open the document, but if they use this password they can still
change
the document, they also have it so you can set up a password so that someone
can change the document, plus one can save the document as read only.
Here is my problem since I don't want to save the document as read only as
then even I can't make changes to it and store it back with the same name I am
left with the other two options which don't give me what I want since what I
want is a method where I will let some people open the document and others open
and change the document. Ideas?
Thanks, Jerry.
