This tip applies to Word 97, 2000, 2002, and 2003
If you need to move the insertion point to the beginning of a line while running a VBA macro, it is done with the HomeKey method. Syntax examples are as follows:
Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdLine, Extend:=wdMove Selection.HomeKey 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 start of the line.
