.NET Forum / Visual Studio.NET / VS Tools for Office / May 2005"Protect Document" feature does not work in a VSTO 2005 Word Template project !!!
Hi, I have a Word Template project created using VSTO 2005. When I try to protect the document ,from the VS 2005 IDE, the button which says "Yes, Start Enforcing Protection" never gets enabled. How do I protect the document in this case ?? I want to allow the users to edit only specific parts in the document, which is mapped to a XML schema. Many Thanks in advance, ZK. Hi ZK, The behavior that you are seeing regarding document protection with Microsoft Word while hosted in the designer is expected. When the document is open within Visual Studio the document is opened in design mode. The document must be in run mode before you can begin enforcing protection. I have included a link to additional information concerning this issue which is contained within the Visual Studio help file below. ms-help://MS.VSCC.v80/MS.MSDNQTR.v80.en/MS.MSDN.v80/MS.VisualStudio.v80.en/dv_vstcore/html/a25472ad-03f0-4804-9d19-e5ff71340d49.htm As documented in the help file: "Visual Studio Tools for Office automatically enables protection with an empty password. If you want the document protection to have a password, you must add the password before you deploy your solution. For details about setting a password, see Help in the specific Office application." If you have any questions please let me know via the posting. Regards, Ken Laws Microsoft Support This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

But the problem still remains :-( If the document is protected automatically, how is the User able to edit all parts of the document which opens when the project is run ? I do not want the document to be read-only. How do I allow the user to edit only selected parts of the document. eg : Those parts which are contained within specific XML tags. Please help.

Note : On my machine, I was not able to open the VS Help file link sent in your earlier post. Is this help page available on the net ? Thanks, ZK. Hi ZK, Below is a link to the help topic online. http://whidbey.msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dv_vstc ore/html/a25472ad-03f0-4804-9d19-e5ff71340d49.asp Basically what I did was to mark the sections of the document that I wanted the user to be able to edit while the Word template was open from within Visual Studio. Then once the solution was built and ready to be deployed, I opened the template from the build folder using Microsoft Word outside of Visual Studio and was able to click on the "Yes, Start Enforcing Protection" button which then prompted me to set a password, thereby enabling protection.
