Is there any tool/option I can use to restrict people copying/editing/formatting my work I dont want readers clicking on my work and copying and pasting it to another document. Is there a way I can prevent this I know PDF is a good solution, but I want to keep my file DOC for a specific reason. Please get back at me.
Thank you for the help.

Help please. I need to protect my work in Microsoft Word.

If you're using Word 2003, select File\Permission\Do Not Distribute... from the menu; the Permission dialog box will appear.
Check the Restrict Permission to This Document checkbox, and then click the More Optionis button at the bottom of the dialog box; a second Permission dialog with more options will appear. You should be able to control the document as you wish from here.
