 Don't forget to set the operating system security on the document you create.  Otherwise, it is a simple matter to copy the text from a non-editable document, paste it in to a new document and save with the same name as the original document.

What are you trying to achieve by making the document non-editable?  I can always print the document and use correction fluid (or a pair of scissors and a photocopier) to change it!  To have the document not change it is more a matter of operating system security than it is of document properties.

before you continue, you need to know this:

Microsoft does not currently recommend, and does not support, Automation of Microsoft Office applications from any unattended, non-interactive client application or component (including ASP, ASP.NET, DCOM, and NT Services), because Office may exhibit unstable behavior and/or deadlock when Office is run in this environment.

                StreamWriter fp;

                fp = File.CreateText(Server.MapPath("~/Resumes/") + filename);

                fp.WriteLine(resume);
