Yes, it does. When you first save a text document or spreadsheet
file in OOo, the bottom of the Save As window as a box labeled Save
with Password. Click the box to put a check mark (tick) into it. Make
sure the file has a name and you have selected the File type you want
(Writer or Calc). Then click Save. You will be asked for a password
and then asked to repeat the password.
Just remember one thing: one you have password protected one of
these files, it is almost impossible to open the file again without
the proper password. Unless you used a simple password, password
crackers could take possibly months to years to open the file.
