WriteProtection class

Specifies write protection settings for a document. To learn more, visit the Protect or Encrypt a Document documentation article.

Remarks

Write protection specifies whether the author has recommended that the document is to be opened as read-only and/or require a password to modify a document.

Write protection is different from document protection. Write protection is specified in Microsoft Word in the options of the Save As dialog box.

You do not create instances of this class directly. You access document protection settings via the Document.writeProtection property.
