Guest Nick Mirro Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 I understand how to password protect a Word doc. Our problem is that we do not want our techs to be able to copy the templates from our laptops (that we provide them) onto a usb drive to use for their own enterprise. There are 5 .dots that have 4 years of improvements. Is there a way to have a users on our provided xp pro laptops, such that they cannot lite off with copies of our treasured templates? Quote

Would password management then be a problem? Is disciplinary or legal action against your techs an alternative? Lots of people are looking for jobs these days...

Isn't encryption just a way to make access to the doc impossible without a password? In this case the user will have the doc password in order to open it on our laptop. They could then copy it to another machine and open it with the same password. Maybe I could just enable event logging and then alert the users that their actions are being recorded? Quote
