I am a beginner in word 2003 how do i lock a document so that everytime i try
to open it that i have to put in a pass word each time
 
Tools | Options | Security: Password to open. Do not do this unless you are
absolutely positive you will remember the password. If you use even a
reasonably strong password, there is virtually no way you or anyone else
will be able to open the doc without it.

tried to reopen?
