OK, thanks. This is a problem I am having at work so when I get in to the office tomorrow I will attach a document. I really appreciate the help.

I have attached a test document so you can see what is happening. I have three macros setup that run with keyboard combinations. They are:

Ctrl + u unprotects the document when it is protected
Ctrl + l protects the document with track changes
Ctrl + k protects the document with just being able to fill in forms.

The unprotect one works fine. The other two work, but wherever the cursor is when you hit the keyboard combination it leaves that bar. The bar does not show up when printed the doc is printed, however it does show up when I convert the doc to a PDF which I have to do sometimes. The only way to get rid of the bar is to put my cursor on it and type something and then highlight it and delete it. If I just manually go in and protect the documents by typing in the password that bar does not show up. But I don't want to type that password 100+ times a day.

Thanks for the help.
