Default prevent printing (not fullproof)

I am distributing documents internally and prefer people don't print. I
have read in the forums there is no "fullproof" method but I am just
looking for a simple disable. Equivalent to locking a form without a
password. I have gone into the word document properties but can't see
any setting. thanks.

This is not possible in Word - the best you can manage is to use a protected
PDF format (for which you will need third party software), but even that can
be circumvented by someone who knows what he is doing.
