Prevent unauthorized text copying

Guest

How do I prevent unauthorized copying and pasting of text into a new Word
document? I am using Word 2003.

Text can be copied and pasted into a new document even if the original file
has protect document feature turned on.

I just want the file to be readable and printable but not be copied.

What you ask is not possible. If you can see something, you can copy it.

To expand on what Suzanne says, even a locked-up PDF isn't foolproof - a
printed copy can easily be OCR scanned, then bastardized at will.
