you can add a password to your word file by going to save as > the tools menu on the right side and going to options then general options then down near the button.
hope that helps.
edit: to slow

Yeah. My friend has some program which can crack all office passwords. I don't know what it is exactly but it sounds dogdy.

True, but i think that office passwords are easier to crack than most passwords.

indeed, I'm not going to give a tut on how to crack office passwords. All I say is that it is very easy (indeed much easier then other password protected stuff)...
and I think that's more then enough said on that matter...
