This week we need to submit a Word file with a short story. It must be uploaded from home to the school server. The challenge is that anyone could download and view our work, copy it, or change it before submission. My suggestion is to post it as late as possible to avoid early access, but those who upload later might still retrieve it. I want to use encryption, protection, or similar features so that when someone tries to download it they only see symbols or a blank screen, but if the teacher asks I can adjust it.

I've already saved someone else's file, though it's quite poor quality. I won't discuss it, but others might not be kind. Fixed it.

Configure a password for viewing and editing the file separately. The password used for each action can differ, and it may also display any modifications someone attempts.
