Hi again.

I can see that, in the Developer tab, by selecting a string of that programming text, selecting “Text Content Control” and then Properties, I have the option to select “Contents cannot be edited”. That seems to do it. The problem is that the gray font programming text appears all over each file and I have about 2000 files like those.

I was thinking about a Macro that would allow me to select all that gray font text in each file and then lock it in the way I described. Would that be feasible?
