Enabling document protection
You can protect your documents from being read or saved by unauthorized persons
by applying document protection – or, to be more precise, read and/or write protection
– to them. For example, you can require the entry of a password to open or
save a protected document.
When a document is read protected it is also encrypted, so that it cannot be examined
with the use of programs other than TextMaker.
To protect a document, do the following:
1. Invoke the command File > Properties.
2. Switch to the Protection property sheet.
3. Select the kind of document protection desired (see below).
4. Enter the read and/or write password (at least 4, and no more than 15 characters).
Important: If you forget a password you can no longer open, or save, the
document. Therefore, it is advisable to write down the password, paying attention
to the cases of letters!
5. Confirm with OK.
6. A dialog appears and requires you to verify the read and/or write password by
reentering it.
7. Confirm with OK.
8. Exit the dialog box with OK.
9. Save the document to make the changes effective.
From now on anyone who attempts to open this document will be asked automatically
for the password. If the correct password is entered, the protection will be
lifted for the duration of the edit session.
Using the above described dialog, you can select any of the following types of
protection:
No protection
The document is not protected. This is the default setting.
