Hi Robin
I was playing about this morning and tried password protecting. When I tried
to open again it let me without prompting for a password, is this because I
was doing it on the same computer? What it's for is a friend who wants to
give a floppy disc to work colleagues and only they are allowed to view the
contents. They might be opening it on the same PC used to create it, so
would this mean they wouldn't need the password? This would be a problem as
the PC can be accessed by people who are not allowed access to the disc and
could possibly gain access on that computer without a password? Am I making
sense?

Hi Babs,
You can slide a little button in the corner of a floppy to right protect
it but this isn't a password solution. What I think you need to do is
password protect the actual files you've saved to the floppy.
For word and Excel files, go to the tools menu and click on the
protection... And you can then secure the contents of your files into a
Read only format where the document can only be opened if the user has
the password you have set.
Creating documents in pdf format is another option but I'm out of my
league when it comes to that stuff. Best ask the audience or phone a
friend!
Cheers Robin
