Comments in Word causing script to crash

[BrianHoard]

I have reduced my script and the attached Word doc to the bare minimum to reproduce this problem.

Starting with a document with a single word and 1 endnote, the following code runs fine:

ActiveDocument.Range.EndnoteOptions.numberStyle = 0

But, if we add a Word Comment using Review > Comments > New Comment, then run the script, I get the following error:
Run-time error '4605':


This method or property is not available because the object refers to a footnote, endnote, or comment.

In troubleshooting this, sometimes I will not get the error. But if I delete the comment, and then add a new one again, it will give the error again.

I just did another test without any endnotes, and get the error when a comment is added to just a single word in the document.

This is my first experience dealing with Comments, so not sure yet how to work around them in my code.
