MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / March 2005How to find all the selections
If I'm using ActiveWindow.Selection to get a selection, I only get the last selection that was made by the user. If the user selected 2 or more parts of the document - how do I get the rest of them? Thanks! Inbar. > If I'm using ActiveWindow.Selection to get a selection, I only get the > last > selection that was made by the user.

How to I get all the "range" objects for everything that was found? I don't really see how this helps me. I will still have a multiple selection that I cannot use... > You might apply some formatting that's unlikely to be used (finally a use for "marching ants" text effects?), and then use "Find" to loop all ranges that have that formatting applied, removing it in the process. > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > Jay Freedman > > Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org > Klaus, > OK, let's assume I do that.

I will still have a multiple selection that I cannot use... if you apply the Marching Red Ants character format to the Selection, it does in fact apply it to all areas of a multiple selection. You can then do a Find, searching for examples of Marching Red Ants, adding each area found to an array or collection of Range objects, removing the Red Ants format in the process You can then maniplate those ranges in any way you want.
