MacMost Now 789: Password Protecting Small Bits of Data
There are many ways to password protect and encrypt small pieces of data on a Mac. You can use Keychain Access to encrypt a note in your keychain. You can use Disk Utility to create a small encrypted disk image. The app Evernote allows you to encrypt a piece of text inside a note. You can also use the Terminal to create a password protected zip file.

Great stuff as usual Gary.
The method I've always used is to Print from a word processor, select Save As PDF, then with the Security button select a password for opening, and perhaps a separate one for copying from and/or printing the file. This gives you a quickly generated portable file readable on most systems.
Think there's anything wrong with this that I've spaced on?

I like Apple encrypt drives on disk utility :)
