Run-time error '4605': This method or property is not available...

Hi,

I'm getting the following message when trying to use the selection property
in the Reviewing Pane in Word 2002:

Run-time error '4605': This method or property is not available because the
current selection is editing the reviewing pane.

All I'm doing is letting the user select from a list and trying to insert
the value such as this and I get the error when trying to execute the
'Selection.TypeText Text...' line:
'*****************
' We will go through all of the values in our current list and check
' each one to see if it has been selected. If so, we will echo the
' associated text back into the document.
For iArrValue = 0 To lstSelection.ListCount - 1
If lstSelection.Selected(iArrValue) = True Then
Selection.TypeText Text:=arrResponse(iArrValue)
End If
Next
'*****************
If I record a macro in my main document or in the Reviewing Pane, just
typing in text, the macro command is no different, using the selection
property. It records fine and I can play it in my main document but not in
the Reviewing Pane, as I'll get the error listed above.

I can also manually type in the Reviewing Pane so it appears to be accessible.

Either I am missing something or the selection property is not able to be
used within the Reviewing Pane.

Any ideas?

Bill
