Create a Password Protected Document
Overview
This guide will show you how to create a document in Microsoft Office(Word, PowerPoint, Etc.)that requires a password to view. This can be useful to protect documents from being opened until a password is provided, such as for testing.
How to add a password to an Office document
This tutorial is specific to Microsoft Word, but the same options are available in all Office products(Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Etc.)
PLEASE NOTE: We strongly recommend saving a separate backup copy of the document that you do not intend to share before adding a password in case the password is lost.
First, Open your document that you want to lock with a password.
Click File in the top left corner to access file options
Click Protect Document and select Encrypt with Password. [Note: In other documents, the Protect option might be slightly different. For instance, in PowerPoint the option is called Protect Presentation. It will do the same thing.]
When prompted, enter a password for this document. PLEASE NOTE: This password is case sensitive. Once a password is set, you will not be able to open or modify the document again without entering the password, so the password should be either one that is easy to remember or should be documented so that it is not lost.
Save your document again to verify that the document is save with your password.
The next time the document is opened, it will prompt for a password before the content can be viewed. Enter the password and click OK to view the document.
If you run into any issues in setting a password on your Office document, please submit a help-desk ticket through Eduphoria and a technician will be able to assist you.

Standardized Testing
Chromebooks
When using a Chromebook for standardized testing there is no need to log in. Click the Apps button at the bottom of the login screen and select the desired test. From there, follow instructions for the specific test which should be located in the testing manual.
Lab Computers
Some computer labs contain Chromeboxes. These labs will have the computers attached to the back of the screen. Use the procedures for Chromebooks when working in these labs.
For TELPAS testing, the testing application is called TestNav. Searching for TELPAS is unlikely to return any results.
When using a lab computer for standardized testing, you must log in with the credentials below. From there, locate the desired test icon on the desktop. If no shortcut appears on the desktop, open the start menu and search for the test there.
Username: test
Password: test.test
Use Gmail to Open Email Links
In order to open Email (mailto) links, Gmail must be allowed to act as a service handler. This tutorial explains how to do that.
- Open Google Chrome
- Go to gmail.com
- In the address bar, click the Service Handler button (see below)
- Click Allow then click Done
- Email links will now open in Gmail
Use the App Portal on Windows
Princeton ISD provides an app portal which can be accessed from district machines to install district software through a self-service process. For the purpose of this tutorial, Google Drive File Stream will be used but the process is the same for every item in the app portal.
- Click on the FileWave Kiosk icon in the application tray which is in the lower-right corner of the screen. It should look something like the below picture.
If the FileWave Kiosk does not appear, click the caret icon (see below) to expand the list.
The result should look like the below image.
- Once the FileWave Kiosk has launched a list of applications is shown. If you do not see the application you are looking for use the search box in the upper-right corner. Since this tutorial uses Google Drive File Stream, we will type file stream and hit enter. Doing so returns one result as shown below.
- To install an application, click the Install button to the right of that application. Depending on the application it may take a long time to complete. Once the application is installed, the Install button will change to an Uninstall button as shown below.
- Repeat the process for any additional applications that you want to install.
Use the Knowledge Base

Search
The best place to start looking for a solution is to use the search bar at the top of the page. Enter some text and then hit the Enter/Return key to search. Results can be further refined by using the tools on the left side of the results page.
