Selecting the active sentence

[RockIt]

Hey all,
How do you just select the active sentence in a word document using VBA? I see the document.sentences.item(???).select method. But how do I know my item number?

Thanks In Advance.

Just selecting the sentence with the insertion point in it:

If Selection.Type = wdSelectionIP Then
Selection.Sentences(1).Select
End If

Caveat: Word's idea of a sentence includes the spaces between this sentence and the next. This may be more than one, or something you do not want at all. Also, if the sentence is the last sentence of a paragraph, the paragraph mark will be included in the selection plus any following "empty" paragraph marks.
