Don't be selfish man, let others share what you have, don't hide(protect).

It depends on what data you are trying to protect and what format the data is in? For example, if someone can open a document from your CD/DVD they can save it to their hard drive.

Please provide more information.

You can use the protection options built in to Microsoft Word under the 'Tools'/'Protect Document' drop down menu (version dependent) or by right-clicking on the word document itself and selecting 'Properties'/'security, but this is for read access only (in that someone can not edit the document but can still open and save the document).

Although you can prevent someone modifying the document you cannot easily prevent someone copying it from the CD on to their hard drive, copying and pasting the text into another document, manually writing a duplicate word document by visually copying the document, etc.

What exactly is so important about the data in your word document? Is it a screen play or something? Perhaps something that comes under personal copyright protection or patent laws?

The simplest and easiest way to protect your document from editing or copying and modifying is to just scan the word document (using a scanner, photocopier or similar) and save as a .pdf or .jpg (or other similar picture format). Although this can still be copied it cannot easily be edited. This is what is commonly done in any industry.
