Could someone please help with the code on how to clear the current
selection. Not delete the contents, simply un-highlight what is currently
selected.

Thanks
Chad

Selection.Collapse wdcollapseEnd

will do it, and leave the cursor (insertion point) at the end of the
selectiion

Selection.Collapse wdcollapseStart

will do the same, but leave the cursor (insertion point) at the start of the
selectiion

Enjoy,

Either

Selection.Collapse Direction:=wdCollapseStart

or

Selection.Collapse Direction:=wdCollapseEnd

depending on where you want the insertion point to land.
