I wish to create a macro that will display the Security tab of Tools/Options
and then stop there, so that the user can enter password details etc. But
while I am recording this macro and get to the Security tab, the Stop
Recording bar is not available, and I can only get to it by coming back out
of Options.

When I edit the VB code, I cannot see how to stop the macro from leaving the
Options/Security tab. So when the macro is run, it actually achieves nothing
- the user cannot even see it going to Options/Security!

If I had entered a password while recording, that same password would have
been applied to the current file. But I do not want a fixed password - that
is for the user to decide each time.

Macros don't work that way; and you can't use the macro recorder for
creating non-trivial macros. Use

dialogs(wdDialogToolsOptionsSecurity).Show

to display and optionally act on the security dialog. Be aware that mucking
around with security settings from within VBA opens up a whole can of worms.
