document security settings

[Lee]

I have a word document where the security settings keep
changing when I email it to another user.

When you right click on the document, go to properties,
security, I save the document with allowing everyone to
have full control and all the other permissions. When I
send this document to another user and they save it to
their desktop, these permissions go away.

Is there anyway that I can get the Everyone permissions to
stay when the document is sent to other users?

Thanks for any help you can give.

Hi Lee,

Which version of Word are we dealing with, here?

When I right-click a Word document in the Word application
window I don't see a "Properties" entry. Is this something
you're seeing in a Windows Explorer Window? Then this would
be Windows-specific functionality, and you should ask in the
appropriate Windows newsgroup. And do mention which version
of Windows you have, whether you're on a network, etc.
