GoTo Method

expression.GoTo(What, Which, Count, Name)

expression    Required. An expression that returns one of the objects in the Applies To list.

What   Optional Variant. The kind of item to which the range or selection is moved. Can be one of the WdGoToItem constants.

Which   Optional Variant. The item to which the range or selection is moved. Can be one of the WdGoToDirection constants. The following examples are functionally equivalent; they both move the selection to the first heading in the document.

Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToHeading, Which:=wdGoToFirst
Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToHeading, Which:=wdGoToAbsolute, Count:=1
		

Count   Optional Variant. The number of the item in the document. The default value is 1. The following example moves the selection to the fourth line in the document.

Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToLine, Which:=wdGoToAbsolute, Count:=4
		

Only positive values are valid. To specify an item that precedes the range or selection, use wdGoToPrevious as the Which argument and specify a Count value. The following example moves the selection up two lines.

Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToLine, Which:=wdGoToPrevious, Count:=2
		

Name   Optional Variant. If the What argument is wdGoToBookmark, wdGoToComment, wdGoToField, or wdGoToObject, this argument specifies a name. The following example moves to the next DATE field.

Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToField, Name:="Date"
		

Remarks

When you use the GoTo method with the wdGoToGrammaticalError, wdGoToProofreadingError, or wdGoToSpellingError constant, the Range that's returned includes any grammar error text or spelling error text.

Example

This example moves the selection to the first cell in the next table.

Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToTable, Which:=wdGoToNext
		

This example moves the insertion point just before the fifth endnote reference mark in the active document.

If ActiveDocument.Endnotes.Count >= 5 Then
    Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToEndnote, _
        Which:=wdGoToAbsolute, Count:=5
End If
		

This example sets R1 equal to the first footnote reference mark in the active document.

If ActiveDocument.Footnotes.Count >= 1 Then
    Set R1 = ActiveDocument.GoTo(What:=wdGoToFootnote, _
        Which:=wdGoToFirst)
    R1.Expand Unit:=wdCharacter
End If
		

This example moves the selection down four lines.

Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToLine, Which:=wdGoToRelative, Count:=4
		

This example moves the selection back two pages.

Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToPage, Which:=wdGoToPrevious, Count:=2
