title: Microsoft Word protecting styles using VBA and the "Protect Document" feature
body: <p>I am trying to limit the styles a user can use in a Word 2003 document. I am doing this by using the "Protect Document" feature.  For my situation I may need to use VBA but I am not sure.</p>
  
  <p>After I protect the document, I can no longer apply a style to just a single word without it changing the style for the whole paragraph.</p>
  
  <p>For example if I tried to change the word 'house' to a new style in the sentence below...</p>
  
  <p><strong>There is a house on the hill.</strong></p>
  
  <p>Then the whole sentence would become that style, not just the word house.
  Does anyone know how to get around this using VBA or know what I am doing wrong?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
