You want to password protect a document so that anyone can read it but only people who know the password can modify the document. What settings should you use on the Security tab in the Options dialog box?

Enter a password in the Password to modify box.

Select the Read-only recommended check box.

Enter a password in the Password to open box.

Print a hard copy of the document for people who need to read it, and send a soft copy only to people who may need to modify it.

You've forgotten the password to open a password–protected file. What can you do?

Call the Microsoft Office Support Center; they'll tell you how to crack the password.

Nothing.

Open the file through Windows Explorer rather than the program's Open command.

Create a copy of the file and open that one instead.
