vba equivalent of "highlight the regions I can edit"

In a protected document I can have Word highlight all fields that are
editable in the document. This is done via a checkbox in the "Protect
Document" section of the task pane that reads "highlight the regions I can
edit".

How can I invoke this behavior from vba?

Thanks,
Johannes Stuermer

Hi Johannes

This is what you need

ActiveWindow.View.ShadeEditableRanges = True

(I learned this trick from Beth Melton just last month <g>)
