Stopping undo

[Jonas Olofsson]

I am working with shapes in Word. The shapes are drawn with VBA code and
grouped with text boxes. When I have drawn the shapes and grouped them with
the textboxes I clear the undo buffer by calling UndoClear on the document
object. Then if I select another shape and check the Undo command under the
Edit menu commands are available to undo regroup of a shape. How can I stop
this? I do not want to allow the user to ungroup some of these shape groups.

Regards,

Hi Jonas,

Well, the user will probably always be able to select a grouped shape and
ungroup using the basic DRAWING tools... You might want to cut, then paste
special as a picture.
