Possible to secure print/save MSWord documents?

[Mrs. Kilgore Trout]

I'm looking to secure save/print docs in MSWord or elsewhere in MSOffice that
can only be accessed with login/password. Is this possible?

You can assign a password that will have to be supplied to open a document.
To do that, click on the Tools pull down in the File SaveAs dialog and then
select the General item and enter the passwork in the Password to open
control. Don't lose/forget the password as otherwise not even you will be
able to open the document.

Word does not have the capability to secure print a document. Once you have
given somebody else access to the document, you have lost control over it.

Secure printing is a feature of many high-end printers, that is accessed via
the Printer Properties dialog, but apart from being able to access that
dialog from Word, it has nothing to do with Word itself.
