Collapsing and Expanding Subdocuments
When you are creating a macro, there are many times you want to move to the beginning or end of your document. The exact syntax for how you do this depends on whether you are using WordBasic or VBA. If you are programming in VBA, you use the HomeKey and EndKey methods of the Selection object. For instance, the following two lines will move the cursor to the beginning of the document, and then to the end:
Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdStory Selection.EndKey Unit:=wdStory
If you want to select everything from the current position to the beginning or end of the document, you simply add the Extend method. The following will select everything from the current location to the beginning of the document:
Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdStory, Extend:=wdExtend
