Position cursor at start/end of Word document

Question

We are manipulating our Word 2007 documents from .Net using Word Interop. Mostly doing stuff with fields as in:

For Each f In d.Fields
    f.Select()
    //d         


        

Answer 1

@Alexander Kojevnikov: Thanks for your help because you put me on the right track. However I found I had to apply the .GoTo to the Word Selection object, not the Document. As in:

    Dim what As Object = Word.WdGoToItem.wdGoToLine
    Dim which As Object = Word.WdGoToDirection.wdGoToLast

    //below line had no effect
    //d.GoTo(what, which, Nothing, Nothing)

    w.Selection.GoTo(what, which, Nothing, Nothing)

Answer 2

I'm not sure I'm using the same environment as you, but to go to the start or end of the document here's what works for me:

Private Sub moveCursorToStartOfDocument()
    w.Selection.HomeKey(WdUnits.wdStory, Nothing)
End Sub

Private Sub moveCursorToEndOfDocument()
    w.Selection.EndKey(WdUnits.wdStory, Nothing)
End Sub

Answer 3

Try this :

int lNumberOfPages = 
  _WordDoc.ComputeStatistics(Word.WdStatistic.wdStatisticPages, false);

WordApp.Selection.GoTo(Word.WdGoToItem.wdGoToPage,WordApp.WdGoToDirection.wdGoToLast, lNumberOfPages);

Answer 4

This is how it looks in C#:

object missing = Missing.Value;
object what = Word.WdGoToItem.wdGoToLine;
object which = Word.WdGoToDirection.wdGoToLast;
doc.GoTo(ref what, ref which, ref missing, ref missing);

I guess it will be even easier in VB.Net as it supports optional parameters.

Answer 5

I use unit Word_TLB in Delphi with Appliction object- Word.Application

as following:

aWordDoc.Application.Selection.EndKey(wdStory,wdMove);

generally end of word document is:

Selection.EndKey( WdUnits.wdStory, WdMovementType.wdMove)

When I use

Selection.GoTo(Word.WdGoToItem.wdGoToLine, Word.WdGoToDirection.wdGoToLast, Nothing, Nothing);
Selection.InsertFile('documnet.docx');

new content was insert before last line.

To change cursor position at the end of the current document in a C# Word Add-In VSTO :

this.Application.ActiveDocument.Range(
this.Application.ActiveDocument.Content.End-1,
this.Application.ActiveDocument.Content.End-1).Select();
