Code to access the menu options...

R

Is there a way I can access the menu options (File, Edit, View,
Insert, Format etc.) via vba code?

All help is appreciated.

I want to create a button when when pressed will automatically change
the arrow to an ink annotation so that people can sign the document,

The ink annotation option is on the insert menu....

does that help?

Not sure... Why can't you use Word's built-in Ink Annotation button?

the document is protected. so what I want is when the user clicks the
"Please Sign here" button, it un-protects the document and changes the
arrow to an ink annotation (just so that it is easier for the user and
he doesnt have to search for the annotation link on the menu). as soon
as the reader signs, he clicks on another button which reads "Please
click when done" and that protects the document again.

I have never used Ink Annotations...

However, I have found this command:

WordBasic.InsertInkAnnotations

I guess you could use it in your code.


By the way, asking the user to Re-protect the document once the signing is
done is asking for trouble... someone will forget and throw the document out
of whack and they will call you because they will claim it is your fault!
I thought it as possible to use Ink Annotations on top of a protected
document... but I have never worked with a Tablet PC so I am not sure about
this.

Ink Annotations are normally used on a Tablet PC, and as I have mentioned
above I have never used such a device.. So I cannot help any more than
that... Sorry.
