Moving the Insertion Point to the End of a Line
Summary: When writing a macro to process the text in a document, you may need to move the insertion point to the end of a line. This is done with the EndKey method, described in this tip. (This tip works with Microsoft Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, Word 2003, and Word 2007.)
If you need to move the insertion point to the end of a line under the control of a VBA macro, it is done with the EndKey method. Syntax examples are as follows:
Selection.EndKey Unit:=wdLine, Extend:=wdMove Selection.EndKey Unit:=wdLine, Extend:=wdExtend
The first line simply moves the insertion point, the second moves it and selects all the text between the current insertion point and the end of the line.
Tip #3442 applies to Microsoft Word versions: 97 2000 2002 2003 2007
