Protecting documents with passwords
You can protect a document or stationery by setting a password, which you
(and other users) must type before you can open the document or stationery
using AppleWorks.
1. Choose Document Summary from the File menu.
2. Click Set Password, type a password (up to 255 characters of letters, numbers, or
symbols), and then click OK.
3. In the confirmation dialog box, type the password again, and then click OK.
Important Keep the following points in mind:
1
If you set a password for default (Options) stationery, you must type the
password each time you open the stationery document. If you don’t type
the correct password when you try to open the document, AppleWorks
opens a blank document of the same type.
1
To maintain security, consider doing the following:
1
Make passwords easy to remember, but not so easy that someone can
guess them.
1
If you write down passwords, store them in a secure place away from
your computer.
1
Change passwords often.
1
Passwords provide a minimum level of security to your documents and
should not be used to protect sensitive information. Setting a password
does not encrypt the file. To protect sensitive documents, consider taking
additional security measures.
