That's not something you'd do from within OOo, you'd need to get a utility such as TrueCrypt or similar and use that.

If you are using the NTFS file system (most likely you are), see if this article helps. The section about WinXPpro should be all you need.
Apache OO 4.1.12 and LibreOffice 7.5, mostly on Ms Windows 10
