[SOLVED] Protecting a word doc from being copied or printed ?

hankach · 11-01-2007, 09:21 AM

Hi All ,

What is the solution to protect a word document from being copied from the place where you want to install it , a hard drive of a certain computer or a floppy ,it means that the persons can access, read but cant copy its contents nor the whole document sheet itself. Better to say you can select a paragraph or all but copying when you right click isnt allowed neither when you right click the whole document .
Also even after opening that file , he shall not be able to print a copy of it .
Sometimes you need to handle a file on a floppy or to install it on the computer of someone enabling him just to read but not to steal your work.

Any solution, soft or trick ?
Thank you very much for your support
