Disabling select in office document

[Manish Buttan]

Hi

I have written an application in C# that converts values in a form, into a well formatted word document (using office automation object)

I would like to protect the contents of the document. I have done the same through enabling protection (.protect method) of the document

But I observed that the user is still able to copy text from my word document and paste it into notepad, word etc. I do not want this to happen

How do I go about doing the same

Thank you in advance
Manis

Hi Manish,

The short answer is that you cannot realistically prevent people from
copying/pasting a Word document they have in front of them on the screen..
Unless you have Office 2003 and so do your users...
