Hey Shaun,

To the best of my knowledge, you're correct.  Users are able to open electronic documents and use the "File>Save As" feature to save a local copy of documents.  Keep in mind that Audit Trail reports on things happening within Laserfiche.  Once you have the word document open, it's not in Laserfiche anymore because it saves a temporary local copy to the machine that opened it so Word can open the file.  Additionally, Laserfiche is not able to disable features in Microsoft Word.

There are other ways to get around this potential issue!  You can save the word document as images in Laserfiche to prevent people from modifying the pages.  If you would like to allow only some users to retain the ability to modify the word documents, you can create a folder structure that provides access to the word document and allow access to the users who need the ability to modify the document.  The users who shouldn't be modifying the document will have access to a similar folder structure, but instead of seeing word documents, they will see pages that point to the word documents, as to prevent them from exporting and modifying the document.

Lastly, keep in mind that when the users export the document and make changes, those will be kept locally and not affect the document within Laserfiche.
