Have tried using XML on Word document. Here is where I am stuck:

I cannot let the user delete any XML node by mistake. Is there some security
check that can be implemented to stop the user for deleting nodes?
Alternatively,
Can I utilize the "Document_XMLBeforeDelete" event to undo the action?

Gautam.
