Default word document is not 100% protected

I just had to prepare and send a €˜client visiting form to a client to sign,
normally I would convert into an Acrobat pdf. document for security.

I was not able to do so because of a software problem, so I sent out the
word doc. protected. Just checking and playing with the document before
sending out I noticed that indeed it was security proof because anyone wanted
to make any changes whilst the document is protected will come up with a lot
of crossed out red ink.
Fine. But if some one just €˜Selects All and copies to a new page then
surely the whole object of the exercise to protect a document, for it not to
be tampered with is valid useless. Can you explain to me then the point of
protecting a document, if it is not 100% protection?
