I have made a document with some protected areas and some areas where the users can write. The areas where the users can write is high lighted in yellow. I know I can uncheck the box, and then remove the yellow highlight, but is it possible to remove it when the document is open up, so that the user does not see these yellow areas ?

I just found an idea - that did not work.

I thought that I could make a makro that could click the right buttons. But when the document is locked, you can't make a makro. When the documents is open, the buttons I need to click is not there...

Yes you can if you use the following macro

Private Sub Document_Open()
ActiveDocument.Windows(1).View.ShadeEditableRanges = False
End Sub

That's it.

Will that macro remove the yellow highlightning ? if so, thanks
