Disclaimer instead of a Read-only Word document

One of my colleagues has received a request to post a Word document on their site as "Read only", presumably to ensure that it can't be copied and changed. As an alternative, they're suggesting putting a disclaimer on the document.

I'm a little bit baffled by this. I can't see how having a Read-only document would prevent copying and alteration, and I'm not sure how you could word a disclaimer to prevent copying.

Anyone come across this sort of thing?

Thanks

Kerry
