Default Save word doc as non-editable and place watermark over the text

It is impossible to prevent anyone you allow to view your text from copying
it. You can merely make it more difficult. Yes you can add watermarks to
your document. A watermark is simply a graphical image placed behind the
text. For it to be of any use, you need to save the word document as a
graphical image, or series of images (SnagIt will do that) then save the
resulting graphic(s) as a PDF. It will not stop the really determined from
copying, but it will make it difficult to do so.

Hi,

1) I'm wondering if I can save a word document as non-editable? I want to
prevent others from copying my text.

2) Is it possible to place a watermark over the text?
