Default Protect a Word Document

All you can do is make it a little more difficult for people to misuse it.
Once you let someone have a copy of it, they can do with it what they want.

From the Tools pulldown in the Save dialog. select the General Options item
and apply a Password to modify.

Hope this helps.
