Note while your caption might read Delete Person. That is not a valid name
for a document control.
If you already know the index number of the control you can use a single
line:
Sub Scratchmacro
ActiveDocument.InlineShapes(1).OLEFormat.Object.Enabled = False
End Sub
If there are multiple controls or other inlineshapes then you will need
something like this:
Sub Scratchmacro
ActiveDocument.InlineShapes(GetIndex).OLEFormat.Object.Enabled = False
End Sub
Function GetIndex() As Long
Dim i As Long
Dim oILS As InlineShape
For Each oILS In ActiveDocument.Range.InlineShapes
i = i + 1
If oILS.Type = wdInlineShapeOLEControlObject Then
If InStr(oILS.OLEFormat.Object.Name, "CommandButton1") > 0 Then
Exit For
End If
End If
Next oILS
GetIndex = i
End Function

Not exactly sure.. is this an ActiveX commandbutton IN the document?
If so, you can action it directly, by name. Say it is CommandButton1 (and
you should actually change your names from the defaults....)
Within the ThisDocument module:
CommandButton1.Enabled = False
Within any standard module:
ThisDocument.CommandButton1.Enabled = False
You do not need the index number.
