Default Template - prohibit saving

I created a template (.dot) and want to prohibit users from the ability to
save it - I want them to print only. How do I do that?

Default Template - prohibit saving

You don't! This is not possible.

If you want to provide a printable document, the safest method is to supply
a PDF format document, in which, if you use Acrobat to create it (not a
cheap tool) you can set security measures to prevent certain actions. Do
however note that these actions will only inhibit copying, they will not
prevent it. The *only* way to prevent anyone from copying your work is not
to allow them to see it.
