I have previously used Microsoft Office 2000, and with their program I used
password to prevent someone from opening personal financial document when they

When you create the document, File / Save As and check "Save With
Password". IIUC, this is only available if you are saving in Open
Document or OpenOffice 1.0 formats, not StarXxx or MS Office formats.
I believe you are also not able to open documents with OOo that were
created in MS Office and saved with a password. To retrieve this data,
if you no longer have MSO, download and install the MS Word/Excel/Etc
Viewers from Microsoft*. This will let you open and view MSO documents,
but not edit them. Then you can select and copy data and paste it into
an OOo document (or other program, I suppose).
* MS has viewers for Word, Excel, Visio, PowerPoint, and a snapshot
viewer for Access. And possibly others.
