Is there any way to find out whether contents of word document have been copied and pasted(CTR+ C and CTRL+V) from other sources like websites or PDF documents.

I am preparing a word document. I need to know whether anyone can find out whether contents were copied and pasted from other sources.

Appreciate your support

Answer
If you pasted the material as text or an embedded object and not as a link to the original, there is nothing in the Word document that indicates its source, and nothing that shows whether the item was pasted or typed on your keyboard.

However, if the copying constitutes plagiarizing (whether by pasting or typing) or using copyrighted material without permission or acknowledgment, other people will easily be able to find the source on the web and compare it to your document. The lack of a direct link from the document to the source will not be any protection in that case.
