When you protect a document, by default the "highlight the regions I
can edit" checkbox is checked in the task pane, how can I
programatically un-check it. When this checkbox is checked, the
editable regions appear in yellow. I tried doing this:

Selection.GoToEditableRange().HighlightColorIndex =
word.WdColorIndex.wdNoHighlight

but that doesn't seem to be doing anything. If anyone knows how to do
this, please let me know.

Thanks,

sylvain.

Hi Sylvain,

can edit" checkbox is checked in the task pane, how can I

editable regions appear in yellow.

If you record a macro, and uncheck that box, what syntax is recorded?

Thanks for your reply, I did already, and it doesn't record a single
line..

This should do it ...

ActiveWindow.View.ShadeEditableRanges = false

Enjoy,
