Create password protected docx file

[kasinau]

Hi, I want to create a docx file from a template and protect it to be able to open only entering a password.
Is it possible with PHPWord or no?
Thank you!

i used 0.14 version and setPassword protection, but when i open the word file, this is not required enter pass word
Here:

I want like to bellow:

I can?
My Office is 2013:
My code:
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php'; $phpWord = new \PhpOffice\PhpWord\PhpWord(); $documentProtection = $phpWord->getSettings()->getDocumentProtection(); $documentProtection-setEditing(PhpOffice\PhpWord\SimpleType\DocProtect::READ_ONLY); $documentProtection->setPassword('123456');

Sorry for my bad English!

no, that's not possible. you can only make a document (or parts of it only) read-only.
Forbidding to open a document is much more difficult than that as the whole document needs to be encrypted.

I have not protected template Word document.
I need to edit it and then to set protection with password to avoid changes.
How could I do it?
