Using Events with the Application Object - Word for Mac

A

Alan Riley

Hello All

Does anyone know if the WindowSelectionChange application event should be
available within Word for Mac 2001 & X, or how to get it working, as it
won't work for me? I have searched high and low for information on it but
have found nothing.

I've been using it successfully in Word for Windows to ensure that fields,
bookmarks and other sensitive items are not overwritten. It allows the new
selection to be analysed before the user can to do anything with it. I have
already tried section protection to achieve the same thing (which works as
far as protection is concerned), but it disabled too much functionality (in
the unprotected sections !!).

I could also use the EditCut and EditClear events to stop deletion but the
main danger is overtyping, so I need something extra to stop a damaging
action. Is there any other way to achieve this, eg. an "InsertText" event??

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks
