Re: password

And just jumping in to clarify still further...

the password functionality in the windows version of Office Apps is part 
of their DRM (Digital Rights Management). DRM is not available on the 
mac platform at all, and is unlikely to ever become available since it 
relies on some pretty deeply buried proprietary code in the operating 
system.
