In order to remember access codes and passwords for on line purchasing and banking etc., I have created a Word document crib sheet. Is it possible to secure this page from being read, in case the computer is stolen?solution.
Word 2000 has a rather weak password protection facility on the Save/SaveAs dialogue box, just go to Tools > General Options. From Word 2003 onwards this was replaced by a much stronger password protected encryption option. If you want a boots and braces approach then you could encrypt your encrypted crib sheet using an excellent little freeware application called Encrypt On Click (http://goo.gl/ZyK2h). This should keep it reasonably safe but you might like to try a purpose-designed password protection program called KeePass Password Safe (http://goo.gl/oILn). It’s free Open Source software, easy to use and very secure with 256-bit encryption.
