Setting Security Options

In earlier Office versions, security settings were scattered throughout each program in a variety of locations. In Office XP, all security options are consolidated in a single dialog box. To see the security options for any Office program except FrontPage, select Tools, Options, and click the Security tab. Figure 2.18 shows this dialog box for Word, which offers the most extensive set of options of any Office program.
