Hi Judi,
You can replace wdAllowOnlyFormFields with the value 2.
In Word's VBA editor, you can use the Object Browser to find the values of
VBA constants. (For completeness, the other valid values of Type are
wdAllowOnlyRevisions = 0, wdAllowOnlyComments = 1, and wdAllowOnlyReading =
3.) Depending on the language of the application you're writing, you could
use a #define or Const statement to declare the constant's value at the top
of your code and not have to change the Protect statement.
