Open the document, go to the \"<strong>File<\/strong>\" tab, select \"<strong>Protect Document,<\/strong>\" and click on \"<strong>Encrypt with Password.<\/strong>\" Delete the existing password and click on \"<strong>OK<\/strong>\" to remove the password protection.<\/p>\n<h4>Q4: Can I password protect a Word document on a Mac?<\/h4>\n<p>A: Yes, the password protection methods discussed in this blog post can be used on Microsoft Word for Mac.
