Selecting Text in a Document
Use the Select method to select an item in a document. The Select method is available from several objects, such as Bookmark, Field, Range, and Table. The following example selects the first table in the active document.
Sub SelectTable()
ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Select
End Sub
The following example selects the first field in the active document.
Sub SelectField()
ActiveDocument.Fields(1).Select
End Sub
The following example selects the first four paragraphs in the active document. The Range method is used to create a Range object which refers to the first four paragraphs. The Select method is then applied to the Range object.
Sub SelectRange()
Dim rngParagraphs As Range
Set rngParagraphs = ActiveDocument.Range( _
Start:=ActiveDocument.Paragraphs(1).Range.Start, _
End:=ActiveDocument.Paragraphs(4).Range.End)
rngParagraphs.Select
End Sub
