Step 1: Open your document in Word for Mac 2011. To password protect an Office document, first open it in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or. Open the extracted folder and look for word\settings.xmlįind a string with "w:documentprotection", it'll be after the "w:proofstate" groupĬut/delete the "w:documentprotection" area of the xml file and saveĭrag your new settings.xml from the extracted folder to the zip folder If you lose/forget the password you are going to be up the creek without a paddle.Rename the zip folder's extension with the edited. Remember your password and make a backup of the file. You can obtain more info about OpenSSL by typing man openssl from the Terminal prompt.Įncryption: openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -e -in -out ĭecryption: openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -d -in -out out - specifies the full path to the output file. in - specifies the full path to the input file aes-256-cbc - Type of cipher to be used. Now, this time, when you double click on the file, you will be able to open your file. You will again be asked for the password enter the one you used to encrypt it. To decrypt the file, just issue the command: openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -d -in /Users/Apple123/Desktop/Journal_encrypted.txt -out /Users/Apple123/Journal.txt It will look like a regular text file but when you double click on it, you will get an error message that it cannot be opened. When it's finished, you will see the new file on your desktop.
You will be asked to type and verify a password to encrypt the file. To encrypt the file, in Terminal issue the command (assuming "Apple123" is your username): openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -e -in /Users/Apple123/Desktop/Journal.txt -out /Users/Apple123/Desktop/Journal_encrypted.txt
So, let's assume that on your Desktop we have your Journal conveniently named Journal.txt The benefit here is that it's lightening fast as you are only encrypting/decrypting a single file. This is very useful if you are planning on doing a journal in a Word Document, or even a TextEdit file where it's just one long document. You can encrypt any (individual) file using OpenSSL through Terminal.
