Hi William,

to me it seems, a section break can
never be on the very last line.

You may want to know, whether a section break
precedes the end-of-doc mark.

Unfortunately, there are 5 kinds of section breaks:

'wdSectionContinuous ' 0
'wdSectionNewColumn ' 1
'wdSectionNewPage ' 2
'wdSectionEvenPage ' 3
'wdSectionOddPage '4

Searching for a section break can be done by using "^b" in the search
string.

I suggest you move to the end of the story and search backwards
If found, check the character position of the selection

..oh...and first, create a test document with a section break in the
position at which you want to detect it! That might tell you something :)

...and that's "^s" is some Spanish versions of Word, just in case you are
developing an International product.
