There is no way that you can stop anyone you allow to view your document
from altering the content and recreating the document. If that is what you plan, forget it. The best you can manage is to save as a PDF format file, for which you will need additional software. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org chris wrote: i want to send a word document as a read only document in an email for advertising purposes can anyone help me? |

Once you have saved the document, right click on the doc within your folder and tick the Read Only box. Jess "chris" wrote: i want to send a word document as a read only document in an email for advertising purposes can anyone help me? |

That doesn't prevent the document from being changed, only from being saved with the same name as the original document. The only real way to achieve what the OP wants to do is to print the document to an image file (such as JPG). Even the PDF option is easily circumvented by anyone who's knowledgeable. -- Bob Kanyak's Doghouse http://www.kanyak.com |
