Answer 1

I would suggest to use ContentControl (CC) in your situation. There are few possibilities how you could take advantage of CC but, in my opinion, best option is to wrap each verified paragraph into CC.

The following code is written in Word-VBA which you can easily convert into C# code:

Dim par As Paragraph

'set reference to appropriate paragraph
Set par = ActiveDocument.Paragraphs(2)

Dim cc As ContentControl
Set cc = ActiveDocument.ContentControls.Add( _
            wdContentControlRichText, par.Range)

cc.Tag = "VERIFIED"

'options
'disable deletion of CC
cc.LockContentControl = True

'disable edition of CC
cc.LockContents = True
