seriously...why couldn't you use the JS event handler onMouseOver. If the
viewer puts the mouse over the window, which they would need to capture the
text, the content would be replaced by different content, which could say
"The content of this window is restricted from printing or being saved.
Content xxxx if you have any questions."
My only question is that since it is normally used to swap images, can be
applied against a referenced page of text
