Protection merely prevents the *original* file from being modified. There is
no such thing as "100% protection" - if you put it out there it can be
replicated & the replica can be edited.

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?
