Hi,

How can I get the word in a MS Word document when we right click the mouse
on it or when the cursor is at the word's end. I am not selecting the word
out here.

It is like similar to what MS Word offers when we right click any word and
select "Lookup" from the context menu or use "Spell Check" for it.

If you are looking for programming...

I'm not entirely sure if I understand what you need, but this code will
place in a variable whatever word the cursor is abutting (either front or
back) or on:

Dim strWord as String

strWord = Selection.Range.Words(1).

If you're trying to rewrite how your context menu works (right click), then
maybe this code from Excel will give you a head start:

The cursor remains where it was and the word is not actually selected.
