Answer 1

char = split_string_to_char(text)(index)

------

Function split_string_to_char(text) As String()

   Dim chars() As String
   For char_count = 1 To Len(text)
      ReDim Preserve chars(char_count - 1)
      chars(char_count - 1) = Mid(text, char_count, 1)
   Next
   split_string_to_char = chars
End Function

Answer 2

If s is your string than you could do it this way:

Mid(s, index, 1)

Edit based on comment below question.

It seems that you need a bit different approach which should be easier. Try in this way:

Dim character As String 'Integer if for numbers
's = ActiveDocument.Content.Text - we don't need it
character = Activedocument.Characters(index)

Answer 3

Getting one char from string at specified index

Dim pos As Integer
Dim outStr As String
pos = 2 
Dim outStr As String
outStr = Left(Mid("abcdef", pos), 1)

outStr="b"
