Select text in Word with VBA 1
- Thread starter Colvic

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.

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