If you're just trying to encourage people to do the right thing,
especially if they aren't very computer-literate, you can write macros
named EditCut, EditCopy, and EditPaste and don't put any code inside
the macros -- for example, just write
Sub EditCut()
End Sub
When the user tries to use the command, nothing will happen. See
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/InterceptSavePrint.htm for the
general principle.
If you need to be a bit more strict, you'll have to intercept about a
half dozen different paste commands, such as EditPasteSpecial. To see
the list, open the Macros dialog and set the "Macros in" dropdown to
"Word commands".
If the users are experienced and determined, there's nothing you can
do that's foolproof. All they'd have to do is hold down the Shift key
while opening the form, which disables all macros. Word is not, and
was never meant to be, a secured or locked-down environment -- it's an
editor, meant for changing things.
