{remarks}You cannot create a [DocumentProtection|DocumentProtection] object using the {{new}} keyword. You must get an existing {{DocumentProtection}} object from a [Document|Document].

MS Word equivalent: Tools menu > Protect Document...

The following sample gets the {{DocumentProtection}} object of a document so you can start working with these properties.
