Default word document is not 100% protected

.... And even if you could prevent copying you couldn't prevent printing
hardcopy or screen captures which could then be OCRed and edited. Besides,
if someone finds a way to do what you want, that automatically provides the
ability to reverse it.

Disabling the select and copy functions will not achieve the required ends.
If you use a suitably strong password it will be difficult to make changes
to the original document, but a duplicate that could even fool you would not
be too hard to produce.
