How to prevent copying text from a document?

[nLinked]

In Word 2007, there is the ability to protect a document with a password to
prevent it being modified by someone else. But it does not prevent the
person from copying all the text and pasting it into a new document. Is
there a way to do this?

The Enterprise version of Office 2007 provides additional layers of
protection (permissions, which uses DRM, digital rights management) not
found in other versions. The Enterprise version does indeed let you prevent
text from being copied.

In Office 2003, this level of protection was provided for Office 2003
Professional. In 2007, however, it's been moved into the Enterprise version
only.
