Password protecting an excel document in office 08 mac

[puma1552]

How do I do it? I want the document to require a password to open. I did the tools-->protection--protect workbook/sheet thing but that didn't do it, the document could still be opened, just not edited.

I have a budget sheet with all of my online account passwords I don't want accessible if the computer gets stolen.

Alternatively, you can create a encrypted alternate disk image and save all of your secure files in it.
