To set a password for an Open Office document, choose the File menu, then Save As. When the Save As window opens, there will be a checkbox at the bottom of the screen labeled Save with password. Check the box, press the Save button, and you will next be presented with a window titled "Enter password." Enter the password you'd like to use, type it again to confirm it, and press OK. Your document is now password-protected. Any attempts to open the document will first prompt the user for the password you assigned.
