Hi Mack,
Ultimately, any file is vulnerable if available to a sufficiently sustained
attack. Therefore, you should consider a password protection as no more than
aprotection against casual snooping.
Of far more importance is keeping the file secure - in other words keeping
your PC secure so that nobody can gain unauthorised access either in person
or remotely. This however is not a Word issue.
