Click on the Office Start Button (upper left hand corner), then you'll see
the Prepare option - the break out on it includes "Encrypt" - choose that
option. It's pretty easy to do.

With earlier versions it would be tools > options > security
From the advanced tab, use a stronger encryption type than the default
Enter a password in the password to open and click OK (NOT protect document)
You will be prompted to re-enter the password.
Don't forget that password!

Just a word of warning: if you use non-default encryption on documents in
Word 2002 or Word 2003 and then update those documents in Word 2007, your
choice of encryption method will be overridden (and, by default, weakened
substantially)without any warning - you will be prompted that stronger
security can be obtained by upgrading to Word 2007 format but if you don't
want to do that you have no other option.
