So would this work in a later version of the Windows OS? I have Vista and I’d love to put a password on some of my files but I don’t know how. My brother told me it wasn’t possible but I’ve started working on a novel and I would love to be able to protect it.
It works on Windows Vista since MS Office 2003 supports Vista. I made this tutorial using a Vista computer, and I can password protect my files in MS Office 2003 Word, Power Point and Excel in Windows Vista.
