I need to protect my Microsoft Word document against text copying.
I have found a solution in restricting the permissions described here.
Instead of "No Changes (Read only)", I use "Filling in forms" and then insert the password.
My question is: is this way really safe? Can't someone hack my password?
PS: I have read that it is possible to save the document as HTML and then to find the hex version of pass in the code of the document. But I myself couldn't decrypt it.
As long as anybody can read it, there's no way you can prevent people from copying and pasting it in another file with a 100% success.
Even if selection is disabled, you would still need to deal with the analog hole. In layman's terms, there's nothing you can do to prevent people from, for example, printing it then OCRing it to a new Word document, getting an editable version that way.
That said, you're probably better exporting to PDF if you want to prevent most people from editing them.
I agree completely with what Marcos says. However there is a more secure way than using forms protection (which is in no way secure!) to prevent copying from within the Word application interface. Look up the term "Information Rights Management" in connection with the version of Office you're using.

I've tried the usual markdown syntax, for example:
```py
# Here's my Python code
import this
```
But it doesn't seem to work, it just displays it literally as if it was plain text. I wasn't able to find information as to whether markdown was the right syntax, or if there's another one, or if there simply isn't one. But when it replies with code, it does display it in a proper format (monospace font and everything), so that seems to indicate that there might be a way.
Of course this doesn't hinder its comprehension of code in any way, it's just for me, if I want to review the conversation later.

A user of mine has 99% full disk space. They need their files for future reference but need to get rid of them somehow.
I want to export all Outlook data from 1/1/2022 and older, save it to their OneDrive, and then delete what I just exported from the exchange server.
Whats the most efficient way of doing that?
I tried archiving but I learned that makes a copy of the data and keeps it on the server.
I tried doing an export, but that appears to be almost the same as archiving but just not a "live" version.
I tried manually searching a date range, moving them to a folder, and then deleting them, but that was going to take FOREVER because of how long it took to load.
A user of mine has 99% full disk space.
In that case you can limit the size of cached data in Outlook or just consider using the non-cached mode where all the data will be retrieved from the Exchange server online. For example:
You can read more about that in the Managing Outlook Cached Mode and OST File Sizes article.

A change was made to have links in our emails changed from a token-based format to JWTs. After enabling this feature in production we started seeing a percentage of errors on our servers about not being able to decode the JWT as it was not valid. Looking at the invalid JWTs they appear to be totally different than what we were sending out (not even a subset of the JWT appears to be the same). Our best guess is something along the way was mangling the base64 encoding of the token parameter in our URL querystring. Every invalid request came from an IP associated with a "Microsoft Corporation" data center, widely spread across the US, not just a single data center or two. Also the user agent is predominately windows, although we have seen one or two linux. Interestingly no errors from OSX yet.
Is there some kind of link prefetch/virus scanner/etc somewhere in azure/microsoft/outlook/live.com land that I don't know about that may be causing this?

I'm currently on the phone with IBM and they can't seem to provide an answer. I've also searched on Google, but nothing is very clear. All I'm trying to do is automatically cc: myself on every single email I send.
I can't remember exactly where it is in Outlook nor what it is exactly called, but in Outlook I remember it was as simple as checkmarking a "automatically cc: myself" field in some preferences window.
Thank you much in advance.
Why do you want to cc: yourself on every email? You have your sent folder, you can view them there.
But if you really want to send a copy to yourself you can just modify the mail application, assuming you have design access to it. You also need to turn off the nightly update of your mail application from the design template on the server.
But there is not built-in setting to do it.
Update: Since the reason was disclosed to be a way to use emails as a kind of to-do list, my suggestion is to use flags and follow-ups.

I am trying to embed a survey into an email (outlook 2007). When they complete the survey the answers are stored somewhere I can manage (Like the use of forms in Google drive).
I have tried creating a custom form, I do not have access to the organizational form library.
I have tried using the voting system inbuilt in out look which would work if only multiple answers could be selected rather than just 1.
The Google forms does exactly what I need, I just have to use outlook.
I'm hoping I am just missing something because I cannot see a way to do this.
Thanks in advance!
I don't think this will work. Check out the list at the bottom of this page: https://www.campaignmonitor.com/resources/will-it-work/forms/
Edit: From the same article:
Given the sporadic support for forms in emails, we recommend linking
to a form on a website rather than embedding it in the email. This is
the safest, most reliable solution to pairing an email message with a
form. More people will see it and be able to use it, and as a result
participation will increase.
