I have my signature scanned as a .jpg object in a word document and want a user to be able to copy the text in the documents if they want to but not be able to copy my scanned signature. Is there a way to do this? I experimented using the various document protection features but couldn't figure it out.
 
If it can be seen, it can be copied one way or another. Screenshots will do it easier than any other method.

And there you go. This is the bottom line of Word. If you can see it, then it can be copied. True, it is possible to make it difficult, and some of the funtionality of 2007 can make it very difficult. But really, REALLY secure?

No.

Your jpg can be copied.
