The LockDocument statement adds or removes read-only protection for an entire master document or one of its subdocuments. If the insertion point is within a master document but not within a subdocument, LockDocument locks or unlocks the entire document. If the insertion point is within a subdocument, LockDocument locks or unlocks the subdocument only.
Argument | Explanation |
