Hi Gautam,

What do you mean by "tagged"? Have you looked at Word's new protection
features, that allow you to select and free ranges? You should be able to use
bookmarks this way (the beginning and end of the bookmarks in protected
areas, so that the users can't delete them).
XML is a possibility, but Word wasn't really designed to use XML for editing
"just like that". The XML features in the interface are basically there to
set up documents to be used in a SmartDocument solution (search that on the
microsoft site). It would be possible, though, to do the same thing as I
described for bookmarks with XMl tags.
