For Word 2003 only, there is a redaction add-in that you can download from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |

No, I don't know that.
I can't imagine how you would programmatically (i.e., without human intervention) select which passages to redact and which to leave visible, unless the document has previously been marked up with bookmarks or styles -- in which case you might as well use the add-in. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Pilotgod wrote: Thanks for the responce Jay but that is not what I am looking for.

Programmatically redact a word document
I have been having a devil of a problem with that add-in. If it worked it
would be great but it doesn't. They came out with a new version that fixed some of the problems but left the major bug, i.e., every time one executes the program it adds another redaction pick to the right click button. (For instance, after 1 execute of word there is 1 redaction pick on the right click button, after 12 executions there are 12 redaction picks, etc. After 12 I removed the add-in. Although this version at least removes (the previous one didn't) the picks remain. The way to completely remove it after removing it from add/remove programs from control panel is to rename your normal.dot to something else, e.g., normalsave.dot. Execute Word (which recreates normal.dot. Open normalsave.dot . Go to tools, macro, macro, organizer, and copy your styles, autotext, ect into your new normal.dot. The last thing to do is vow not to use this add in until they fix it once and for all!!! "Jay Freedman" wrote: Pilotgod wrote: I am looking for a way to programmatically redact a word document.
