You wish is beyond Word capabilities, there are various protection levels in
Word but all are generally easy to circumvent.
Have you considered PDFing the Word document, this will at the lowest level
make edits harder, there are free convertors on the WWW you could try but I
am not sure of any further levels of protection these packages have, in the
Adobe version you can add further protection, such as disallowing printing,
etc.
One word of warning - any electronic document can be unprotected, the only
criteria is how difficult the conversion is and how important an editable
document is to the reader.
I am sure other members in this forum can discuss other options of possible
web-secure environments that are available.
You must decide for yourself on how important your document's
content/format/etc is to you and how much you are willing to pay for that
protection.
Hope this helps

I'm wondering if there is a way to protect Word documents from changes
being made after they have been downloaded from a website.

I know there is a protection read-only option that prevents changes
from being made to a document, but this seems to work only when the
document is opened in Word from its location. It does not protect the
document when the document is uploaded onto a website, then downloaded
to be viewed.

In a nutshell, I want to be able to upload documents to a website, and
prevent people who download them from making changes.

Is there any way for me to do this?
