The possibility to copy text is normally related to both the application rather and the settings of the document. There very well might be a way to tell Word 2007 to not copy text from a document, but another document reader might totally ignore this option and allow copying. (A similar discussion is often made about the possibility to print protected pdf files through alternative pdf readers) Yves |

There is no way on earth that you can prevent someone from copying a
document of any description that you allow them to view. You can merely make it a little more difficult for the layman to do - but it is not the layman who would want to copy your document in the first place, so you make it more difficult for the ordinary user to use the document and barely interfere with the ability of the less reputable user to copy. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org fhawkins83 wrote: Regards Word 2007--Is there any way to stop people from copying text without using the password protection? |
