There is a password property in the Open method of the Documents collection:

Dim objWord As Word.Applicatio n
Dim objDocument As Word._Document

objWord = CreateObject("W ord.Application ")
objDocument = objWord.Documen ts.Open(FileNam e:="C:\Test Files\Test1.doc ",
PasswordDocumen t:="password")
'...
'...
objDocument.Clo se()
objDocument = Nothing
objWord.Quit()
objWord = Nothing
