In Office2000 it's in "Tools"->"Save".
But Office passwords are very easy to crack (there is a lot of Office password
crackers available in the Web), so if you want to distribute a file that the
user will not be allowed to modify I would definitely suggest that you use
Adobe Acrobat to convert it to .pdf and use its protection capabilities, which
are much stronger.
