just to point something out, changing the attribute of a document file to read-only protects the file from being saved as a modified file. so it doesn't prevent the document from being read. for that, it would have to be password protected that you and the recipient would need to know.

Making it a read only file is the simplest, and can be accomplished by opening the file properties and checking the read only checkbox on the general tab. As for the password protection methods, there are various ways of doing this depending on the software used to create the file or by third-party software. I am not well-versed in Microsoft Word, so I can't give any details on how to password protect a Word Doc, but I am sure someone else can. Hopefully others on-list can give more options.
