Inserting 'Draft' stamp into Word doc from VB

[chindas]

Hi guys again,

I need to insert a typical 'Draft' stamp in a Word document, from Visual Basic, under some conditions

The first option to consider was using Bookmarks, but I don´t like that solution, i.e., inserting a bookmark called Draft in the original document, and later from the code in VB, filling it up with a 'Draft' string in the Word's BeforePrint object event.. But when the user finishes printing, the Draft stamp still remains, and the user could save the doc with the stamp inside..

Any other ideas?

I don't really understand your problem because anything you add could be saved in the document. That wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing as the draft status would stay utnil formally removed.
An alternative would be to use 'Draft' as a watermark
instead of the bookmark. That's easy to add or remove.
