How do i setup document permissions in word
Hi
I would like to save a word document such that when it is opened by another user, he is requested a password. Furthermore when he is able to open it, he must not be able to select any text and copy and paste it to another document/clipboard i.e. he cannot edit the document. |

Can't be done. Any document that you allow a user to see can be copied.

The newest version of Adobe may be your answer. It cannot be copied, pasted,
etc. I know it is hard to beleive but true. The only way you could do anything with it is to do a print screen, print it or copy the text by typing it. Tested and proven. When you install full version Adobe you can print to adobe an exact duplicate of the Word document. I recently received my credit report in this format. I own full version Adobe and I still couldn't copy, paste, etc. at all. http://www.adobe.com/security/main.html Hope this helps. Please check back to leave your confirmation of resolution or let us know if this did not resolve the issue. Thank you. -- KauaiDawn "Kelesh" wrote: Hi I would like to save a word document such that when it is opened by another user, he is requested a password.

As Graham points out, if the user can see the document, it can be copied.
With a pencil and paper if necessary. You can save the document with a password to open and protect it for forms with a separate password. This second level of protection will stop a knowledgable user from copying your document for about 30 seconds. It will stop most users from copying. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
