Default Prevent Copy to Clipboard on MS Word

Hi,

I know how to password protect a document from being modified or even the
Protect Document Comments option. But i notice that no matter what once
you have the document open you can still select text and do a copy (either
right click and copy, or Ctrl+C), is there any way at all to prevent people
copying stuff off of your word doc? I really work hard on some docs and i
dont want people just sitting there, selecting text, doing a copy paste into
another word doc and using it!

I know this is possible because long time ago i've seen a doc sent by a
customer that was like this. If you even tried to select text the cursor
would just jump back to the top, and I don't believe that it was a macro
doing that, it had to be just some feature within Word itself, could someone
please help? I have MS Word 2003.
