Default COMPLETELY protecting a Word document

Anything that can be seen on screen can be captured and reused. It is
possible to circumvent even if you make locked PDFs. It is all down to how
determined the recipient is.

Is it possible to completely protect a Word document? I have a document
that
I need to send to someone and I would like to make it so they are only
able
to read it. No printing, no cutting of info to paste in thier document,
etc.
etc. Is this even possible? I have protected it from the Tools menu but
that only keeps track of what changes were made. I have also made it a
read-only option from the Security menu but that still allows for Cut and
Paste.
Thanks for your help.
I have Word 2002
