Default How to disable copy of protected excel worksheet?

I protected one excel worksheet but it can still be copied to another new
workbook with content being able to be modified. How to disable this action?

I don't think you can.

Any attempt that I would try would rely on macros and macros can be disabled.

It might depend some on what you want to do with the data. If
you copied the worksheet to *Word*, the information would be
visible but it would not be a spreadsheet. I could extract the
data but it would be a lot of work.

Or just open the workbook with macros disable, unprotect the worksheet and do
whatever you want with the workbook/worksheet.
