Use

Dim myrange As Range
Set myrange = ActiveDocument.Range
myrange.start = myrange.start + InStr(myrange, "abc") - 1
myrange.End = myrange.start + InStr(myrange, "xyz") + 2
myrange.Copy

without the -1 and the +2, what will be copied starts with the b of abc and
ends with the x of xyz. You will need to make an appropriate adjustment to
get exactly what you want.

That's not what happens when I run the code.
