I'm trying to prove to my end users that sending data
via email is not secure unless there is some form of
encryption.  One user suggested putting the
information in a MS Word document.

If you use more, to look at a Word document, you'll see a lot of junk, but the text is plainly visible. You should see similar with ethereal.
