Application.EnableCancelKey property (Word)
Returns or sets the way that Word handles CTRL+BREAK user interruptions. Read/write WdEnableCancelKey.
Syntax
expression. EnableCancelKey
expression Required. A variable that represents an Application object.
Remarks
Use this property very carefully. If you use wdCancelDisabled, there is no way to interrupt a runaway loop or other non - self-terminating code. Also, the EnableCancelKey property is not reset to wdCancelInterrupt when your code stops running; unless you explicitly reset its value, it will remain set to wdCancelDisabled for the duration of the Word session.
Example
This example disables CTRL+BREAK from interrupting a counter loop.
Dim intWait As Integer
Application.EnableCancelKey = wdCancelDisabled
For intWait = 1 To 10000
StatusBar = intWait
Next intWait
Application.EnableCancelKey = wdCancelInterrupt
