LOT of hours trying to get Access 2019 to Restrict Editing a Word document (MS Off. Prof. 2019) after successfully exporting data to bookmarks in the doc and saving it with a new filename. It compiles fine, but when I Open the Word doc, editing is not restricted. I've tried other ways but don't want to make this post a novel.

I've tried locking the entire document and then allowing only editing in Section 2:

' **Restrict Editing Except for E-Signature Section**
    Dim editor As Object

' Lock entire document first
    wdDoc.Protect Type:=wdAllowOnlyReading, NoReset:=True, Password:="YourSecurePassword"

I've tried creating Sections in the document and allowing editing in just 1 section (Section 2 here)
    ' Allow editing in Section 2 (E-Signature)
    Set editor = wdDoc.Sections(2).Range.Editors.Add(wdEditorEveryone)


    ' **Restrict Editing While Keeping Signature Line Editable**
    wdDoc.Protect Type:=wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset:=True, Password:="YourSecurePassword"
