Apologies - I don't think that my request was as specific as it should have
been. What I need to find out is the condition the document has been
"protected for edit". When the document is opened the user will need to enter
a password to unlock the document for edit. Prior to unlocking the document
we want to modify the stse of our addin menu items to be disabled.

Ah, in that case you need the ProtectionType property of the document.
