Is programming even really needed to do this? Couldnt you just Protect the document?

Thanks for reply RobDog
What I exactly want is, avoid copy paste content and printing from my word document, I have tried with word protection with 'readonly' locking but, still I can able to copy and paste my word file content.
So I go for word macro.
How can I write macro using VB.NET for a given word file ?
Basically I need to develop program in vb.net where user can browse his word file and I can disable its copy paste facility by using macro.

IMHO, You cannot do it via VB.Net unless you write a VSTO Add-in for the word document.

By any chance did you mean VBA and not VB.Net?

You cannot truely protect it with code or word protection as anyone that can view it can take screen shots and print that etc. You could put a watermark on it to make your ownership known
