Sending secure email and attachments?
in [Microsoft Office]
|
From: Danny Boy on 4 May 2010 17:41 If I want to send an email with attachment (usually in Word, Excel or Powerpoint) so that it is secure, and so that the attachment can only be opened by someone who knows the "password" that we agree upon, is there a way to do this? I wasn't familiar with an available option in Outlook, or any specific programs or coding that allow for this. Btw, can emails themselves be password protected so that the intended recipient has to enter an agreed upon password, just to read the content of the email (as well as access any attached files included)? If this is possible, than I wouldn't need to secure and password protect the attached file if the recipient can't even access the content of the email itself without a password. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Btw, I have the Office 2007 Suite (Word, Excel, Powerpoint) on my computer, and I'm using a Windows 7 PC. Dan

From: LD5SZRA on 4 May 2010 17:55 Office 2003 and Office 2007 should be used to encrypt the documents before attaching them to your email. Also, you could zip the office files using Winzip and this allows you to encrypt the files before attaching them. Hope this gives you the idea.

From: Danny Boy on 4 May 2010 19:29 Thanks for all the help. I found the: Prepare>Encrypt Document option in Word and Excel 2007 that allows me to encrypt and password protect a file before emailing it. Here is my follow up question? If the person I email the attached file or files to has an older version of Office (e.g. Word or Excel 2002 or 2003) will they still be able to receive, enter the password I provide them, and view the email? I just wanted to make sure that encrypting and password protecting with Word and Excel 2007 can be accessed and viewed without difficulty in the event that someone is using an older version of the Office software. I also found that I cannot open Outlook, attach multiple files, and ecrypt/password protect them all at once in a single email. Is this assumption correct? It appears that I have to encrypt and password protect one item at a time, and if I have 5 files to email in an encrypted/password protected format, I have to send 5 separate emails, and cannot merely attach 5 encrypted/password protected Word documents to one email (as I could do when sending non encrypted files). Thanks for the clarification!

From: Bob I on 5 May 2010 08:02 Perhaps you should just password protect a ZIPfile and send that if you aren't going to be certain about the recipient's e-mail client.
