sending documents to others

[Guest]

Why is that when after preparing a document in word, you save and protect it,
it then gets forwarded on to other people to use and view, but due to the
settings on that users PC (Word) it opens up totally different to how it was
intended to be viewed and how was saved by the author on their PC, why
doesn't it automatically by default open up how you have saved and sent it as
intended?

Is there a way to set the document so it can only be opened up in a certain
way despite the settings of another veiwers PC?
