applying permissions to protected document

[dave]

Hi,

I have a protected document and I have some xml tags that can be edited
within these these tags are tags hat can't be edited. So I have looped
through the document selecting all tags and then the tag's child nodes and
running this code:

node.Range.Select()
applicationObject.Selection.Editors(Word.WdEditorType.wdEditorEveryone).Delete()

My problem is that if the child node is at the end of a table it doesn't
apply permissions properly. I've looked at the underlying xml and discovered
that the permStart and permEnd tags are incorrectly numbered at that point.

Apologies for the formatting but as you can see the wermStart w:id="6" tag
doesn't have an end and wermEnd w:id="7" doesn't have a start.

Please help.
