To protect a word file from copying and pasting

I want to protect my word file from copying and pasting. I tried it from restrict editing feature. But it enables only editing protection. When I copy text or images and paste into another word document, all are copied. How could I protect my document from copying and pasting? Is there any feature?

This method is a failure method ,,because any one can open protected word file by converting. Docx to zip then open the zip extension find the file name setting.xml delete it then change zip to docx then open the protected file and you can easily open and edit copy or paste the contents.
