Auto closing of inactive protected office document after set time

[Sreedhar]

I am working on a protected office document. I need to leave computer for a
while and i have forgotten to close the office document. I wished that the
document should be closed automatically after say 10 minutes (like screen
saver program) so that the document privacy is protected. Is there any such
feature in the current Office 2007?

Password protect your screensaver.

First, that is handled by the operating system. and second what would
keep someone from reopening the file in your absence. The Password
protection on office documents is trivial to bypass, but not so easily
for the operating system.
