At the end of a macro you can clear the undo stack entirely using the
UndoClear method.

You can't temporarily turn off undo so that the actions of your macro don't
appear on the undo stack, but everything before and after does.

Thank you for your reply.

Can the Undo function be permanently turned off?

No, but you can make it harder to access it by removing the relevant buttons
from the toolbar and removing the keyboard shortcuts for Ctrl-Z and Ctrl-Y

Hi everybody,

at least as far as Ctrl-Z is concerned:

Sub EditUndo()
MsgBox "Undo was disabled"
End Sub

Sub EditUndo()
MsgBox "Undo was disabled"
End Sub

Strictly, that doesn't entirely disable Undo. The user can still go to
EditUndo in the list of Word Commands in the Tools Macros dialog. But I
agree it is one way of making it a lot less accessible!
