How do I restrict a user to copy text from Office documents ?
Can anyone let me know - how do we set the restrictions to prevent any user
copying any text from the Word or Excel or Powerpoint or PDF ( generated from Microsoft Office softwares ) files ? As I would not like the content of my documents to be copied and re-used by anyone else. I would only like the users to read the contents and not copy-paste it. Can anyone please help me ?

You can't, really. You can copyright it so it's legally yours.

If you show me the words, I can re-type them. Preventing copy/paste slows me down but doesn't protect you much.

If you really want to slow someone down print the document and then scan it to a bitmap, but as you say if they can read it they can copy it one way or another. Earle
