Unless you password protect the attributes, something that I have never
heard of being doable, you cannot create a read only document that is
not alterable.
All someone needs to do is change the file attributes in the properties.
A second way to bypass the read only restriction is to select the entire
document and then paste it into a new on which is editable and make any
desired changes.
If you are trying to create a distributable file, placing it on CD-Rom
is probably the simplest way to go, and state that the official version
of the document is the CD Version of the document.

Dear Fina,
I read George's post, but he said that there is a way to do it with DBT
as well and I was curious to know how to do it.
