Following code example shows how to create a password protected Office Open XML document.

Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
builder.Writeln("Hello world!");

OoxmlSaveOptions saveOptions = new OoxmlSaveOptions();
saveOptions.Password = "MyPassword";

doc.Save(ArtifactsDir + "OoxmlSaveOptions.Password.docx", saveOptions);

If you want to save document to DOC file format, please use the following code example.

Document doc = new Document();
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
builder.Write("Hello world!");

// DocSaveOptions only applies to Doc and Dot save formats
DocSaveOptions options = new DocSaveOptions(SaveFormat.Doc);

// Set a password with which the document will be encrypted, and which will be required to open it
options.Password = "MyPassword";

// If the document contains a routing slip, we can preserve it while saving by setting this flag to true
options.SaveRoutingSlip = true;

doc.Save(ArtifactsDir + "DocSaveOptions.SaveAsDoc.doc", options);
