Hello,

i would like to have 2 functions to lock and unlock Contentcontrols in all Footers in my Word Document.
The syntax to group and lock is:
Selection.Range.ContentControls.Add (wdContentControlGroup)
Selection.ParentContentControl.LockContentControl = True
I have written this, but I have a problem with footers on different pages:
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim Sctn As Section, HdFt As HeaderFooter
With ActiveDocument
  For Each Sctn In .Sections
    MsgBox (Sctn.Index)
    For Each HdFt In Sctn.Headers
      With HdFt
        If .LinkToPrevious = False Then
          With .Range
            ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekCurrentPageHeader
            For Each fieldX In .Fields
              If InStr(1, fieldX.Code.Text, "KLASSIFIZIERUNG", 1) > 0 Then
                  fieldX.Select
                  Selection.Range.ContentControls.Add (wdContentControlGroup)
                  Selection.ParentContentControl.LockContentControl = True
              End If
            Next fieldX
          End With
        End If
      End With
    Next
    For Each HdFt In Sctn.Footers
      With HdFt
        If .LinkToPrevious = False Then
          With .Range
          ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekCurrentPageFooter
            For Each fieldX In .Fields
              If InStr(1, fieldX.Code.Text, "KLASSIFIZIERUNG", 1) > 0 Then
                  fieldX.Select
                  Selection.Range.ContentControls.Add (wdContentControlGroup)
                  Selection.ParentContentControl.LockContentControl = True
              End If
            Next fieldX
          End With
        End If
      End With
    Next
  Next
End With
Also another approach did not work:
Dim oHFKL As HeaderFooter
Dim fieldX As Field
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekFirstPageFooter
    For Each fieldX In ActiveDocument.Sections(0).Footers(wdHeaderFooterFirstPage).Range.Fields
        If InStr(1, fieldX.Code.Text, "KLASSIFIZIERUNG", 1) > 0 Then
            fieldX.Select
            Selection.Range.ContentControls.Add (wdContentControlGroup)
            Selection.ParentContentControl.LockContentControl = True
        End If
    Next fieldX
as I do not know if I have to use wdHeaderFooterFirstPage or wdHeaderFooterPrimaryPage in the section 0,1,2,..and so on..

I also get a display problem (ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Type switches to 1 and does not remain in status 3) when using this function above.
The fields in my footers are VBA Docvariables with "KLASSIFIZIERUNG" (engl: classification) within, so thats why I check the field.Code.Text by Instr()

Any help? Any ideas?

best regards,
Andreas
