MS-Word 2003 support needed

Jan 22, 2010 6:03PM PST

Dear Sir/Mam

Is it possible to detect that "the text in a MS-Word 2003 document has not been typed manually" or copied from other sources like notepad or clipboard, etc.,

Could it be possible to find, actually what i mean to say is when someone copied some text in notepad it will be stored in clipboard temporarily right? and now if they pasted that text into a MS-Word 2003 document, actually they didn't typed it manually right. At this situation is there any process to find that the text they just pasted into the word doc has not been typed manually rather it is brought from a notepad or clipboard.

Is it possible to find it using MS-word code behind files?

Please help if any body knows about it it's urgent please....

Thank you.

Is it possible to detect...
Jan 23, 2010 4:59PM PST

Dear Sir/Madam,
First of all thanks for your needful reply, if it is not possible for me to detect, is it possible to any software or programmed servers to find that?
Actually why i am asking more specifically because, i am a freelancer and two boys works for me from remote place and they the will have to perform some manual typing tasks given by me, in which they will have to type text on any jpg file into word doc manually, this is the strict requirement of my client too. So i have a doubt weather they are typing manually or using any conversion s/w. Anyways finally they will send content filled word docs to me through mails and i will have to send these docs to my client, if anyway my client recognizes that those doc files have not been typed manually, he will cut my deal.This is the problem actually i am facing. So will it be possible for my client to find that those files have not been typed manually, using any software or would any information be available behind the word codes which are not seen by common mans like me.
Thanks.
