Password protects the contents of a Word document.
This method allows to password protect a Word document. One may protect in read only mode or allow the final user to modify comments or form elements.
Notice that this method does not encrypt the contents of the Word document, only protects them from unauthorized modifications. This method is not secure and can be easily overriden by an experienced user.
You may find a detailed description of this package in the cryptophpdocx section of the API documentation.
