<1. Is there any nice way to make the equivalent of a "stationery" document

<   the file via Get Info.  This is ugly, as it produces a "document is
<   locked" dialog box when opening the file.  I'm creating a letterhead,
<   and don't want users to accidentally write into the original copy of
<   the file.

I keep my letterhead in a glossary. I also keep template documents around
and occasionally forget and save instead of save as... After remembering
and doing the save as..., it doesn't take a whole lot of effort to select
the extraneous text and hit backspace.

<3. Is there any way to give a version number to a Word document so that this
<   information is visible in Get Info?

Well, I presume you know that you can type whatever you want in that box
at the bottom of the Get Info window.
