  2. Objectives

  3. Software Orientation • When you click the File tab, Backstage view provides commands to grant permission, secure documents, share documents, and manage versions as shown below. • Use this figure as a reference for this lesson.

  4. Protecting a Document • When you are working in a business setting, there will be times when you are asked to create or review sensitive documents, such as budgets, employee evaluations, or hiring correspondence, that others may be unauthorized to access. To help you manage these tasks and maintain security, Word has commands you can use to restrict access to a document. • You can set an access password for a document, protect a document, and mark a document as final. • The Restrict Permissions command makes it possible to limit another user’s ability to read or make changes to a document.

  5. Setting an Access Password for a Document • You can protect a document with a password so that only people with access to the password can open or modify the document.

  6. Step-by-Step: Set an Access Password for a Document • OPENthe peerreview document from the lesson folder. • Click the File tab and then click the SaveAsbutton.

Word enables you to specify two differ-ent passwords—one to open a document and one to modify a document—both are optional. You can specify passwords for both actions—just specify a different password for each action. Passwords are case-sensitive, which means you can specify upper and/or lowercase letters. For the following exercise, use the same password to open and modify. Click in the Password to modify box and Key HR%form$#. Click OK.

  8. Step-by-Step: Set an Access Password for a Document • The Confirm Password dialog box appears. Reenter the password to open the document. • Key HR%form$# in the Reenter password to open box and click OK. The Confirm Password dialog box opens, reenter the same password to modify the document.
