How to Lock Word Documents on a Mac *Pictures Coming Soon*

Hey guys! I know Saddle told us all how to lock documents on a Windows but I recently found out how to do it on a Mac. Well I know it works on my mac so if you want to try it please say if it worked and please include what kind of Mac you have.

Oh and I apologize for no pics. I have been having trouble uploading pictures on this site but when I figure it out I will post some.

How to Lock Word Documents on a Mac:

1. Open up the document you want to lock.

2. Go to File and then Save As

3. Click Options at the bottom. (Mine is in the bottom left hand corner but I don't know about others.)

4. Go to security on the menu on the left of the window.

5. You will see something that says "Password to Open". Type in your password in the box.

6. Click OK or save or something and then write down your password and keep it in a safe place!

I don't have a Mac, but I'm sure the Mac users will be glad to read this. Thanks.

Your welcome!

Now there's one for Microsoft Word and Mac.

Yeah!

So have we covered all forms of document locking now? xD

Well we are still waiting on Apple Work, I think.

Someone will figure it out eventually xD

Yep. xD Soon enough.

yeah ia m sure someone will

Hey, thanks, but this isn't gonna work for me,'cause my mom is the only one who knows the password to the computer I do stuff on, and there is no way in **** I'm gonna let her lock my documents.

But, thanks, Merry!

Sweet. Is this for just MSW, though, or Appleworks too?

OH! OMG! I found it for Appleworks! Idk if you can do it the way up front, too. But when you have your document open, do File > Properties > Set Password, and put it there.

Ohmigod. xD I feel like a genius! Haha, now I'm gonna lock all my stuff from now on. Especially Voices, cus my mom would so murder my Twi stuff. You don't even need to do the cpu pass; you can do anything! (Added that part for your benefit, Gri. )

Yay Shadz! Saddle and I knew someone would figure out Appleworks soon enough!

Yeah, I locked my typed poem book and some character development for my story Color My World or Vibrant.

Yay! I'm gonna lock SLAYERS, and anything I might write about her!

Yeah.. let me see what else I should lock. I have one password that no one would guess and I use it for all of them. xD

I think I have everything I need locked, locked.

That doesn't sound right. Locked, locked.

I know. xD I mean like I have everything that I think I should lock, it is locked.

Look!



Woo hoo!

Yay! Mine is working too! I have Merry's Poem Book, Character Development, and The Adventures of Hyper Piper and Francesca locked.
