How do I get Word documents on to my Android tablet securely?

I would like to be able to transfer several private Word documents, written on my Windows 7 PC, to my Samsung Galaxy tablet and smartphone, and be able to open and edit them. It is important that the documents cannot be read by anyone else, should my phone or tablet be hacked, lost or stolen.

You can password protect or encrypt documents in Word, but it gets a bit complicated when it comes to opening or editing them on mobile devices that do not run on Windows.

The only version of Word for Android is in Microsoft Office Mobile but it only works on phones and cannot open encrypted documents.

One simple workaround is to use an encryption utility that works on both Windows and Android, and Word compatible office apps on your smartphone and tablet. For the latter I recommend WPS Office, free from Google Play.

Surprisingly there are relatively few cross-platform encryption systems but SSE (Secret Space Encryptor) is worth investigating and by default it uses practically uncrackable 256-bit AES encryption. Both the Android (and iOS) apps and the Windows program are free for personal use; download links can be found at: http://goo.gl/Ayojps.

Once everything is installed open Windows Explorer and SSE File Encryptor on your PC, create your password then drag and drop the Word documents into the open SSE window and when it has finished transfer the saved and encrypted files to your devices Documents folder.

Open the SSE app on your smartphone or tablet, select the file, enter your password, the file will be decrypted and you can open it as a normal Word document in WPS Office.
