Is there a way to encrypt Word and Excel files without creating a file vault? Or I am stuck with native Office file passwords?

Is there a way to encrypt Word and Excel files without creating a file vault?
Or I am stuck with native Office file passwords?

You could use PGP (or the GPG equivalent). There are dozens of other
commercial, shareware, and freeware encryption apps as well.

Note that password protection does NOT encrypt XL files.
