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. -- Regards Jonathan West - Word MVP www.intelligentdocuments.co.uk Please reply to the newsgroup
Jonathan Thank you for your reply. Can the Undo function be permanently turned off?

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! -- Regards Jonathan West - Word MVP www.intelligentdocuments.co.uk Please reply to the newsgroup
