The soft copies of your document can be used and plagiarized if you do not ensure that the data is secure. Data security does not mean password protection always. In this case, you will need to pass on the password which makes your data vulnerable once again. You can try a few tricks to secure such documents as mentioned below:

Add watermarks to your document: Watermarks have been a mechanism to not only dissuade plagiarism, but also counter counterfeiting of currency. Most of the popular office application suites have an in-built provision to apply watermarks to your document. The watermark can either be your company logo or a daunting translucent text with a subtle color reminding your reader that the text is not up for grabs.



Adding Footer to your document:
Instead of just adding page numbers, "Headers and Footers" can be helpful in reinforcing and reminding your viewer that the file is not for circulation or distribution purposes. Like in your website, you can add a copyright line
in your document with the copyright symbol (©l placed before the copyright line. Using the footer technique is a good mechanism for your slideshows and your live presentations.

Save your documents as PDF files: PDF files are documents which retain the original properties of your document, and render them non¬editable in their presented formats. Although PDF writer software applications are a tad bit expensive, there are a number of other options available on the internet from cost effective use.

One such is the "PDF995" application suit, which provides applications like "PDF995" to create PDF directly from any file type, "PDFedit995" to edit the PDF documents, "Signature995" which enables you to secure and encrypt your PF files, "PDFeditHTML995" to convert PDF into HTML or word files.
