Open Word document with cursor disabled

Question

Is there any way to create a word document where the cursor is invisible or disabled? After I save the document as read only, I want it to be opened like a pdf where even if a cursor is placed and typed, nothing is written on the document.

Answer 1

If you have Word 2007 you can use this plug-in to actually save it as a PDF.

Answer 2

Tools > Options > "Security" Tab

Select "Protect Document..." and follow the prompts. You can restrict the document down to completely read only.
