Ive set my word document with the read only attribute

How do i set permissions on my word document so that the read only box cannot be unchecked when it is on someone else's pc?

thats interesting if its set to read only and you move it to another computer your user doesn't even have read it has guest permissions. I would think you have to change it before or add a user on the new machine to have edit permissions.

Just a guess mind you

hoep it helps and let us know if you fiure it out. Im curious as well

thanks

Once it's on another computer, you cannot dictate the rights of the file. You could export the file as a PDF. Be aware, though, that PDF files can be changed as well.
