You can use the Asc function to determine the ANSI value of the first letter of a string. In early versions of BASIC, Asc returned the ASCII value, but Word uses only ANSI values. The function uses the following format:
x = Asc(sMyString)
where x is the variable that the ANSI value should be assigned to, and sMyString is the string to be analyzed.
