Performance Problem with Protected Table and Unprotected Cells

[GeorgeW]

Hi,

I'm using Office 2003. I have a table in a protected WORD document. The
table is 1x1. I made the table editable for the users by using

Activedocument.Protect(wdAllowOnlyReading)
Mytable.Cell(1, 1).Range.Editors.Add (wdEditorEveryone)

The user paste a (200x7) table from another word document into the
unprotected cell in the protected document.

Then the user selects 1 column of the 200x7 table in the proected document,
once he selects the column, the WORD document just freezes. CPU for WINWORD
goes to 99% , and WORD had to be Killed.

This only happens when the document is protected, if the document is
unprotected. It's works better.

Is there a way to fix this problem in a protected document?

Thanks in advance!

George

If you want to allow editing in a table you should consider protecting the
range for fields, inserting Textform fields in each cell. Performance is very
good and gives you very good control of what happens, and what is pasted,
into the cell.
