Thanks for that information. Some time ago I opened a Word document from an online source to view the contents and as I remember I was only able to Save...not Save As and many of the editing button were grayed out and unavailable. I remember thinking that I might use similar techniques to protect my IP if I moved forward with the project.

If any of this sounds possible or if you can think of a method to protect the contents from unauthorized use or distribution I would appreciate the guidance.
