    you can set it so they need a password to edit, or they can just view,

    or the best way normally is to make a PDF

    Either

    "Save as.." and then from the "Tools" drop-down select "General Options" and enter a "Password to modify" ?

    or

    "Print" as a pdf document ?

    Is there a review tab with a protect document feature (is on the far right on Word 2007)?
