Select text in Word with VBA 1

[Colvic]

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how I can select text in Word with VBA.

I will select text between a start word and a end word.

Thanks in advance.

I don't really want to just hand something off to you, and you don't really give anything specific anyway. Select a word? A paragraph? A section? Have you looked in Help? This is very basic for programming.

It sounds like you are asking about a range - ie. from start to a end.

So look up Range.

What are you going to do with it? Again, look up Range, as it is generally better to work with a Range object, rather than Selection.

Do you need to FIND that start word, end word? You don't say, so...shrug...it may be inportant...it may not.

I strongly suggest you look in Help. There are a lot of examples of selecting and working with ranges. If you have something actually...hmmmm, specific...(rather than this kind of general question)....post back.

Hi fumei.

Thanks for answering.

I want to select all text between a start word and a end word.
And then i will make a tabel or change font ect.


An example:

StartWord

This is an text I will mark,
between the start word an end word.
I have look in help, but I can not find what I look for.

EndWord

Additional information.

I will search for StartWord and EndWord and select all text between. I will make an macro (VBA) to do this.

Do you have any code example for this?

You could try recording yourself doing it manually but, for starters ...

[blue]Dim StartWord As String, EndWord As String
StartWord = "Start word"
EndWord = "End word"

With ActiveDocument.Content.Duplicate
    .Find.Execute Findtext:=StartWord & "*" & EndWord, MatchWildcards:=True
    .MoveStart wdCharacter, Len(StartWord)
    .MoveEnd wdCharacter, -Len(EndWord)
    .Font.Bold = True [green]' Or whatever you want to do[/green]
End With
[/blue]

Enjoy,
Tony

Look in File> Page setup.

There is a box just for this purpose.

For future reference, you really should start a new thread when asking a new question.
