Chapter 6: Files, Folders, and Programs
Using Passwords
6.7.1 Using Passwords
You can prevent other people from opening your Word and Sheet files by setting a
password for each file. For example, you may have a Sheet spreadsheet containing
your personal finance details. To set a password on a file:
1. Open the file and select the Password command from the File menu.
2. Type your password twice for confirmation. Choose a password that
you won’t easily forget, but one that won’t be easy for other people
to guess.
3. Press the OK button, and the file is saved immediately with the password.
When you want to open the file, you will be asked to type in the password.
Important:
Don’t forget your password! If you have forgotten the password for
a file then you will not be able to open it.
The password on an individual file will protect it if you transfer it to
a multimedia card or another machine. If you copy the file, the copy
will be protected by the same password. The password also prevents
the file being converted to another format and read on a PC.
6.8 Changing File Attributes
You can prevent a file from being accidentally changed by making it a “read-only”
file. To do this, highlight the file in the System screen and select Properties from the
File menu. Then check the Read-only box.
