Protect a Word document

Hi,
I like to protect a word document so that user can not type in the document when it is opened as READ ONLY. I can't achive this using SaveAs with a write password or using ToolsProtectDocument. I can get the document open as read only without a password, but user can still type text in the document.

Can any one give me some ideas regarding how to generate a document which is like a "snapshot": user can not type in any text when it is open as read only?

Many thanks

Zeng
