If you can print a file, you can password protect it. Just go under “File” and go to “Print.” In the print dialog box, you’ll see a little PDF button on the left. Click in it and select “Save as PDF” Once you’re in that dialog box, click on “Security Options.”
Put a check-mark next to “Require password to open document,” fill in the password, verify password, OK the dialog box, so you’re back to the Print Dialog, then print the (now PDF) file to your desktop.

This is great for Word docs but I wish you could password protect files on a Finder level basis, there is no easy way to do it
