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:
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.

It appears that the line fails IF your cursor is sitting in a Comment at the time.

Looking at the line of code I would have to say that it should be independent of where the cursor happens to be sitting but that won't be a soapbox worth standing on.

Just add a line in front of it that selects something in the body of the document and move along - some things are not worth losing sleep over.

Thank you for the help. I see what you mean, even in Word, the Footnotes(Endnotes) option group in the ribbon gets grayed out when comments are active.
I see I can make the document active using:
Not sure how to put the cursor back where it was before my script ran, but this will get the job done.
