Title says it all. If not with the OS, can I do it through iWork for my iWork files?

Well, none of the items linked to me do the trick. Honestly, I love mac, but the fact that I can't password protect my files is pretty pathetic. I'll just have to utilize the windows emulation so I can use Office 07, you can encrypt your files with that easily.

Or you can create container DMG images and encrypt them. That is what I do for my work stuff.

I'm a latecomer to the thread, stumbling my way here from a Google search. I found 3 of the linked solutions worked perfectly (DashCrypt, Crypt3, and jFileCrypt). Crypt3 gets my vote for combined simplicity with ability to shred original file, something the other two don't do.

Crypt3 link

I wonder why they didn't "do the trick" for muticere. Although it doesn't help with an iWork file, Microsoft Office for Mac will easily encrypt files.

This video explains how to password protect files on a Mac. You don't need any special programs. You use Disk Utilities.
