WORD cannot password protect folders, that is up to the OS or an add-on.

People, the question was:
can I password protect a FOLDER from within WORD .
The OS does not matter in that case, WORD does not do that.

Yes, I realize that, but I was trying to help coakerb find another way to achieve the same result.

Are you able to change permissions on your folders at work? Or do they say that is a no go too? What I'm thinking is that you could change the permissions so that only the people you wanted to had permissions to access the folder.

you could use a vba script to change permissions(if allowed at work)
