WordprocessingML for document protection a5sk4s 30.11.2005 21:36:08 I'm trying to apply document protection as described by Brian Jones at http://blogs.msdn.com/brian_jones/archive/2005/09/09/463142.aspx (thanks for the series - very helpful). Unfortunately, after following the steps, the generated document is not protected. Only after going through the cycle of unprotect and protect is the protection enforced. This is the case despite the fact that all UI elements (e.g., task pane) indicate that protection is turned on. The only noteworthy difference is that I am using an XSLT data view to generate the WordprocessingML from a custom XML. What am I missing? Am I streching Word's capabilties too much? Thanks for any suggestions. Andreas
