Hi,


as in topic, I want to dynamically protect the entire doc except the actual line where the corsor is.


I think of somthing like first evaluating the lines with:


linesInDoc = ActiveDocument.BuiltInDocumentProperties(wdPropert yLines)


or chars with:


charsInDoc = ActiveDocument.Characters.Count


and based on that inforamtion protect the document.


I have a doc with vba script which extends the doc everytime the doc is opened.


The script inserts a new line with timestamp and username and below that a user can type text.




The goal is, as stated above, to protect everything except the actual line for typing the next comment.


The doc looks like in attachment.


Thank you in advance!

You can apply the Group Content Control to the part before your line.
If you want to protect for forms, you need section breaks.
I do not recommend that.


What you want is, if I am understanding.
To insert a timestamp at the end of the document.
Allow the user to type anywhere after the timestamp and not before.
Am I correct?
What do you want to trigger the insertion of the timestamp? Opening the document? A macro or QAT button?

Hi,

first thank you for your reply.

Yes exactly. Everytime the doc is reopened (Sub AutoOpen()) a new line with timestamp and username and an additional Selection.TypeText (Chr(11)) is inserted.
So im in the line below the timestamp.
Here a user can type comments.
What i want to protect is everything above the comment line where the user is actually typing.

When the doc is reopened the process shall start again, so the doc is growing:
timestamp -> comment ; timestamp -> comment ; ...
And everytime i want to protect everything above the actual comment line.

Yes exactly, opening the document.


Thank you for replying to my post and also for your effort.

It is past my bedtime, but if someone else does not write the macro this weekend, I will.
