Can't be done! There is no way on earth that you can prevent someone from
copying any document that you allow them to see. Breaking Word to attempt
achieve this is not the way forward. The best approach (which can still be
worked around, though less easily) is to export to PDF format (for which you
will need extra software).

That is too bad .

The project now i worked is :
there are some documents on serverside ,that some people can edit it
.and some people view and print it on client side.Because the documents have
some secure information.So,on client side,it cannot be COPIED

Now I got another way,
When we installed word ,there is a virtual printer called Microsoft Office
Document Image Writer.
My solution is to print the document to the MDI file.Then view it on client
side.

So, how is it.
I now need suggestions and information on MDI file .
