Build a login into the application (either a specific SQL login, which the user does not see, or a User + Password table and your own login and a single database login for all users [hardwired into the application]), so that the user's login is not actually the database login

Provide VIEWs for data which the user CAN acces from other tools - such as Word. Only give the user SELECT permissions on the views. Or use DataReader role only (i.e. SELECT access on ALL tables/views)
