Security on a Word Document

[Mark]

I have a word document that is confedential and to be provided by internal
e-mail to a select group of senior managers.

I would like to have some from of control to track any unsupported hard
copies that may be distributed.

I am aware that there are some applications that add a document number or
revision to each e-mail recipent's document ( we use Novell Groupwise).
Thus if the file is sent on else where the water mark identifies which /
who's copy was passed on...

Am aware that Adobe Acrobat has some good features but do not have access to
a Adobe Security server within in our lan, so a roming policy that allows
the document to be opened only if access to the Server is available and a
user name is OK, is not available.

Has any one got some suggestions that I might be able to use. Note:
security is default to disable Macros so that is another option that is
restricted ?.

The footer already has a confidentiality statement as well as "This document
shall not be reproduced, except in full and with the written permission of
***** "


Need to restrict printing such that it is somehow identified....


Thanks in Advance

Hi Mark,

Folks can use screen captures to print as well
as print from the app. There isn't a completely
reliable way to track how many copies are printed
(i.e. print 1 then make x number of photocopies
from that one).

If it's internal and everyone is using MS Office 2003
then you may be able to use the Information Rights Management
(IRM) features.
