I was able to plug all of the obvious 'holes' where the applciation could lose control using procedures in the ApplicationEvnets2 interface. I didn't have to modify the menu and that saved me countless hours of messing around with the Ribbon UI. I've tested the code on workstations running Word 2000, 2003 and 2007 and it works with all of them. That is not too surprising since the exposed events are identical, but you really don't know for sure until you test.

I don't think it should have been this hard but somehow a couple of the pieces (concepts more than code) didn't fall into place until now. What I could have used at the outset was a single resource that explained the process beginning to end from a VFP standpoint. Gee, perhaps I should wirte that--but not before I recoup some of the non-billable hours it took to figure it out. :-)

Glad you've got it working. Sounds like a FoxRockX article to me.
