  1. Press Alt + F11 to open the Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications window.
  2. Click Insert > Module, and paste the following code into the module window:

Dim tempTable As InlineShape
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
ActiveDocument.DeleteAllEditableRanges wdEditorEveryone
For Each tempTable In ActiveDocument.InlineShapes
    If InStr(tempTable.OLEFormat.ProgID, "Visio") = 1 Then
        tempTable.Range.Paragraphs(1).Range.Editors.Add wdEditorEveryone
    End If
Next
ActiveDocument.SelectAllEditableRanges wdEditorEveryone
ActiveDocument.DeleteAllEditableRanges wdEditorEveryone
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
