How to Hide Edit Property from Documnet Library in sharepoint 2010?

Hii All,
I have sharepoint 2010 and i have one Document library. User uploaded some documents. Now user wants to update metadata and word file by only opening file in word. They dont want anybody to edit metadata by using edit property in document or document set.

So how can i remove Edit Property from document menu and Document set menu ?

Here is what you can do:
(1) Browse to your document library view.
(2) Select Edit Page from Site Actions menu.
(3) Add a Content Editor web part to the page.
(4) Modify the Content Editor web part to be hidden (in the layout section) and paste the attached codes as content source. (You click Source Editor button to pop up the source pane)
(5) Click OK to finish configuring the Content Editor web part.
(6) Click Exit Edit Mode below Site Actions.
You show see that the item level menu items are now without the Edit Properties menuitem.
Rational behind the steps: what the above does is to modify the default item level menu items javascript function provided by SharePoint (core.js). I copied the one of the functions that is used to popup the menuitems. I commented out the codes that would add the Edit Properties menu item.
