When creating or editing a Word Document, select "Tools", "Options", "Security" & you can then create a password to protect your file.

In windows explorer you can tag the file as read only. You can also click the tools menu and choose protect document. Tagging the file as read only will deter accidental editing, as the user will have to exit word read write and then they can edit. Protection will lock it so that you need a password to edit

If you want to lock up a Word document, you must encrypt it. In order to encrypt a Word document you must press the "Office Button" then, you must select the "Prepare" selection and then select the "Encrypt Document" selection and then it will ask you for a password. Once you have entered the password you document is locked.
