Default Lock document in word

Not possible for any document, in any file format: if the user can display
it, they can save it, copy it, change it, and print it. You can restrict
them a little by converting the document to PDF; but the 'security' provided
is entirely illusory.

I want to lock my document in MS Word so no one can modify as well copy and
paste into another sheet. Is this possible? All I want is for people to
access the document and nothing else. Possible?
I have tried protecting changes, but I can still cut and paste into
another
document and make changes.

Thanks
Vik
