Default Security Options- Microsoft Word 2003

I am trying to secure several word documents so that they cannot be edited or
copied. I have set a password which restricts modifications, but the document
can still be copied. How can I restrict the document from being copied?

Cannot be done - any more than you can prevent someone with a hard copy from
photocopying it.

Your best bet is to give them a PDF or a picture file instead, but even that
isn't foolproof. If someone wants to duplicate it they will find a way.
