How to protect documents with a macro DocX

Protection for generated documents is a common query from our customers. With DocX and Macros it is very simple to achieve this.

Open the template, add the following Macro to the template and save it with the file extension .Docm.

Sub DCPMacro()
	ActiveDocument.Protect Password:="password", NoReset:=True, Type:=wdAllowOnlyReading, _     
           UseIRM:=False, EnforceStylelock:=False   
End Sub

This Macro will ensure that the created document is protected with a password.

The DCPMacro will be called after generating the document.

Other macros you could use are:

Macro-Name	when will it will be called from the code
DocumentsCorePackMacroBeforeCreateActivity	this macro will be called before the activity is written to CRM
DocumentsCorePackMacroAfterCreate	this macro will be called after the activity is successfully created

Example:

If you want the Document Information Panel to be visible, you could add the following Macro (which will be executed before the activity is created and saved):

Sub DocumentsCorePackMacroBeforeCreateActivity()
    With Application
        .DisplayDocumentInformationPanel = Not .DisplayDocumentInformationPanel
    End With
End Sub

Here is an example template for the entity account:

DocumentInformationPanel.docm (26.02 kb)
