        Word.WdProtectionType.wdNoProtection)
    {

            WdProtectionType.wdAllowOnlyComments, 
            ref missing, ref missing, ref missing,
            ref missing);
    }
}

Private Sub DocumentProtectionType()
    If Me.ProtectionType = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdProtectionType.wdNoProtection Then
