Don't think there is anyway other than preventing the DOC file from
being made available to people who have email client software. Use
physical or OS permsissions security and controls.
There is no foolproof method to do this. Others might suggest using macros etc. but the truth is, that a determined user can crack this within minutes.
Hope this helps,
