Default Possible to secure print/save MSWord documents?

I'm looking to secure save/print docs in MSWord or elsewhere in MSOffice that
can only be accessed with login/password. Is this possible?

Default Possible to secure print/save MSWord documents?

You can assign a password that will have to be supplied to open a document.
To do that, click on the Tools pull down in the File SaveAs dialog and then
select the General item and enter the passwork in the Password to open
control. Don't lose/forget the password as otherwise not even you will be
able to open the document.

Word does not have the capability to secure print a document. Once you have
given somebody else access to the document, you have lost control over it.

Secure printing is a feature of many high-end printers, that is accessed via
the Printer Properties dialog, but apart from being able to access that
dialog from Word, it has nothing to do with Word itself.

Hope this helps.
