I just copied a bunch of text into a document (using Selection.Paste) and
it's all selected. How do I turn off selection (so that nothing is
selected) in this document?

Thanks!
Chris

Actually, that was apparently a fluke, it hasn't happened since.

However, now I have a different problem - after I copy the text from
document 1 to document 2, when I close Word, it says "You have placed a
large amount of text on the clipboard. Do you want to leave it there and
clog stuff up?" (or words to that effect). How can I clear the clipboard so
that question doesn't get asked?

Thanks!
Chris

Hi Chris,

For another time to collapse the selection use:

Selection.Collapse wdCollapseEnd (or wdCollapseStart)

For your clipboard issue, see the article ?Manipulating the clipboard using
VBA
How to clear the clipboard or get the text on the clipboard into a string
variable? at:

Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the
benefit of others who may be interested. Unsolicited questions forwarded
directly to me will only be answered on a paid consulting basis.

Hope this helps
