Hi,
you could intercept both these commands:
Sub editcopy()
MsgBox "editcopy"
End Sub
Sub editpaste()
MsgBox "editpaste"
End Sub
If you put them in a module of a document,
they should work only for this document.
But I doubt, whether that would fulfill
all your expectations.

Thanks for your indication which I found very useful and the wior on the
document where I applyed.
Maybe , if it is not to much trouble for you, you have a solution to
disable the also the cursor in the document

Thanks a lot

Hi,
I think, you are on the wrong track.
If you want to prevent changing of a document,
copying and pasting parts of it also,
you need Adobe Acrobat and create a PDF-File.

Helmut beat me to it, but I'd like to add, what's the point of trying to
prevent copy and paste in Word?
One can always bypass such mechanisms.

Hi Howard,
that is always the crucial point,
whether it is better to answer a question or
to try to find out, what someone really wants
to achieve and what that would be good for...
I don't know.
If someone wants to overwrite copy and paste, well...
think of "The Sorcerer's Apprentice".
Have a nice day.
