Protect Images in a document?

[sdow]

Hi,

We send out word documents via email. In the documents are images of
signatures. However we do not want people taking the signature and using it.

Is it possible to protect or lock an image in a document, so people can't
copy it? (obviously they can get it anyway by print screening the document,
but we're hoping they won't know how to do that!)

If they can see it they can copy it, as you pointed out.

You can make it more difficult for most by protecting the document for forms
with a password. This is not security, it just makes it more difficult.

The types of people who would want to use your signature will have no
difficulty extracting it if you allow them to see it.
