Just protect the document after creating/editing. (Check help for exact steps). Either that or convert to pdf and open with adobe or an alternate non-adobe viewer.

I don't know of any way to do that because it is not a exe type file, if it was saves as a txt file you could open it with any type of word processor,or pdf format with adobe reader.
just out of plane couristy why would you want to do that anyway?
