Default Make a Word document read only - 07-02-2008 , 08:28 AM






Is it possible in Dreamweaver 8 to make a word document or other files read
only? I have a site setup and want to display some work I have done but don't
want others to download or save it if that is possible.

Thanks.

No, that's NOT possible. Simply, everything on a web page IS downloaded when
someone accesses that page. That's how the Internet works.

And, read-only is no protection. Once downloaded anyone can easily turn off
read-only.

It's not a question of what Dreamweaver 8 (or any other edition of
Dreamweaver) can and cannot do. This may help:

BTW, in my experience, "Word document" is a terrible format for the web.

Use images or screenshots to display your work.
