VBA Word copy full content with Restricted editing

My question is, in vba, how can I copy an opened full word document content to the current word document, with copying EVERYTHING? No matter what I tried, I could not copy the Restrict Editing, only the rest of the content. I created the document. However, I would also like to copy these restrictions, but I can't. I have the right to do it, but the restrictions are not created in the copy. I want to save the structure and code of the current file menu with the content from the old, pasted from another file.

 

I also tried this, it copies everything, but the restricted edit disappears.

    oWord.Activate
    oWord.Selection.WholeStory 'Select whole document
    oWord.Selection.Expand wdParagraph 'Expands your selection to current paragraph
    oWord.Selection.Copy 'Copy your selection
    ThisDocument.Activate
    Selection.EndKey wdStory 'Move to end of document
    Selection.Paste  'Pastes in the content

      Stefan_Blom That's exactly what I did, but it doesn't work well, because although it copies everything, it just doesn't copies the mark of the Restricted Edit sections.
