SaveAs Xml loses protection information Rodney Richardson 31.05.2006 11:28:01 I have a document I'm showing in a dsoFramer within a C# application. I choose "Tools | Protect Document" from the menu, and mark the document as read-only. I also have a section that Everyone is allowed to edit. I call SaveAs(filename, wdFormatXML, missing...). When I reload the file, the entire document is protected (read-only), but the section that was marked as editable is also read-only. Is this a bug? Or am I doing something wrong? When I try to do the same thing directly in Word 2003, the problem does not appear.

How are you loading the document? In our case, we don't try to save out the protection or Editors settings. Rather, we control those programmatically from C#. So, we load the document into Word in the DSO Framer, and then we set the Editors on the Range of the doc we want to be editable, then we turn on Protection. FWIW. Brian
