you could write a macro w/ a before print event thats you can print. and probably close out the app?!
You could print to PDF and secure the doc, you can disable printing w/ PDFs. Tranpkp

What happens then if:
The user disables macros, or has their macro settings to High, which keeps the macros from even running??
It doesn't do you any good.
You can print to PDF, but anybody can print screen any time they want to.
So there's no real sure-fire way to do it in ANY program. Anne Troy

A valid point, however I have come to realize many people are aware of the print screen command nor apply it well.
Also if you have a longer document(more than one page), it would take extreme patience to sit there and print screen, screen by screen!

tpt202 have you thought to look under Tools->Options->Security?
Two levels of security! 1 password just to open the file and 1 to open and Modify!
Require a password to open or modify a file
When you create a password, write it down and keep it in a secure place. If you lose the password, you cannot open or gain access to the password-protected document.
1. Open the file.
2. On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click Security.
3. Do one of the following:
Create a password to open
1. In the Password to open box, type a password, and then click OK.
2. In the Reenter password to open box, type the password again, and then click OK.
Create a password to modify
3. In the Password to modify box, type a password, and then click OK.
4. In the Reenter password to modify box, type the password again, and then click OK.
Best Regards,

Martin. I understood that they want to SEND the document and allow people to READ it, but restrict PRINTING ONLY.
Also, Passwords like that are under Tools--Options--SAVE, not Security. Anne Troy

Dreamboat as we discussed yesterday, with my English version of OfficeXP bought November 2001 you go
Tools->Options->Security_Tab where you get the option for a 2 level password access, view or view & change, file security.
Security also appears inside WORD via
Tools->macro->security but that's only to specify the level of macro security!
tbt102, sorry I misunderstood your need.
