Document.CheckInWithVersion (Word)

Saves a document to a server from a local computer, and sets the local document to read-only so that it cannot be edited locally.

Setting the MakePublic parameter to True submits the document for the approval process, which can eventually result in a version of the document being published to users with read-only rights to the document (applies only if SaveChanges is set to True). To take advantage of the collaboration features built into Microsoft Word, documents must be stored on a Microsoft SharePoint Server.
