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

The easiest way to figure out an outline for the actual code is to record a macro in Word for that specific action. Then you can modify the generated code to suit different syntax(s) of VB, VB.NET, C# etc.

The code snippet below demonstrates the usage for a VB.NET application:

Imports wordNmSpace = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word
' Create an object for the application instance
objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")

' Create a reference of the selection object within Word
objSelection = objWord.Selection

' Now comes the part where you move selection position to the end of document
objSelection.endof(wordNmSpace.WdUnits.wdStory, wordNmSpace.WdMovementType.wdMove)

Hope this helps.
