Troubleshoot:Adding a macro to a Word form

Adding a macro to a Word form

I have created a form in Word 2007 and added a macro.
The form includes general instructions text (including the shortcut keys to run the macro that will delete the instruction text when the user has finished filling out the form), but when I add protection
to the form and press the shortcut keys I get an error run message. Is there any way around this or another way to be able to delete the instruction text when the user completes the form?

Plain text can't be deleted (or added or modified or formatted...) while the document is
protected.
The way to do this is in three steps within the macro:
1.
Unprotect the document
2.
Make the change(s)
3.
Reprotect the document
 
In code,
 
    If ActiveDocument.ProtectionType <> wdNoProtection Then
        ActiveDocument.Unprotect  ' , Password:="MyPassword"
    End If
   
    ' make the change(s) here
   
    ActiveDocument.Protect Type:=wdAllowOnlyFormFields, NoReset:=True
