Inserting Text with a Macro

I am trying to format cells and insert text (a checkbox) in each SELECTED cell in a table. This is for specific place keeping in my plant emergency procedures. The cells format properly, but the text will only insert in the FIRST selected cell. I do not know how to create a loop to go to each selected cell. I can't just tell it a specific column or row, because the areas where checkboxes are needed can be scattered all over the place due to the nature of the procedures. I need to be able to manually select multiple cells.

Example VBA:

Sub CkBox2()
'
' CkBox2 Macro
' Inserts check box in each SELECTED cell.
'
Selection.Style = ActiveDocument.Styles("Normal")
Selection.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = wdAlignParagraphRight
Selection.ParagraphFormat.SpaceBefore = 6
Selection.ParagraphFormat.SpaceAfter = 6

Selection.Font.Size = 14
Selection.TypeText Text:=""
Selection.InsertSymbol Font:="Wingdings", CharacterNumber:=168, Unicode:=True

End Sub

Using this, I end up with: (see Figure 1 below)

I can't solve the following problem: I need to find and then move a piece of text using VBA. The text is formatted (fragments are marked with italic).

How do I do it:

footText = Selection.Text
...
[another] Selection.Text = footText

Of course, only text is transferred. Is it possible to transfer the formatting in the found text as well?

Mike,
This should do what you want.

Sub LeftAndRight()
Dim leftString As String
Dim rightString As String
Dim printWidth As Single
With ActiveDocument.PageSetup
printWidth = .PageWidth - .LeftMargin - .RightMargin - .Gutter
End With

loopback:
leftString = InputBox("Text to the left")
If leftString = "" Then Exit Sub
rightString = InputBox("Text to the right")
If rightString = "" Then Exit Sub
Selection.TypeText leftString & Chr(9) & rightString
With Selection.Paragraphs(1).TabStops
.ClearAll
.Add Position:=printWidth, _
Alignment:=wdAlignTabRight, Leader:=wdTabLeaderSpaces
End With
Selection.TypeText vbCrLf
GoTo loopback
End Sub

I would like to type text left aligned, then type different text right aligned, on the same line, from VBA. Do you know how to do that?

Thanks,
Mike

I have text like this aaa bbb ccc U+21d73

I would like to be able to search thru the text and copy the 21d73 part and a trailing space just after the U+21d73 part and then insert the 21d73 part and then highlight only that part and once selected reveal / convert it to a Chinese Character (CTRL+X). Then loop back to find the next U+ character code.

Well, this used to work great for word 2010 to insert standard comments into a work comment field. Now with 2013, this is, of course, broken. "the typetext method or property is not avaialble because the current selection is editing a non editable portion of the reviewing pane" which is a complete piece of bunk; it *is* editing the editable portion of the reviewing pane, as evidenced by my typing into it. More de-contented SW from the people who thoguht nausea-inducing cursors were more useful than macros. Arrgh
