Hi,

I have never worked with VB before and I am simply trying to automate
something I do many times in Word for work.  I recorded a macro and
found that I had to make some changes by hand.  Basically, the script
removes some formatting from selected text.  When I try to run it, it
chokes on the second line with an error reading "Compile Error: Object
Required".  Below is the code, could someone take a look and perhaps
explain the proper way to access text from the selection object.  MS
help was of no help in explaining this. Thanks so much!

Sub RemoveEndnoteFormatting()

' RemoveEndnoteFormatting Macro
'

    Dim strSelectText As String
    Set strSelectText = Selection.Text 'chokes here, highlights variable
    Selection.Cut
    Selection.TypeText Text:=" "
    Selection.PasteSpecial Link:=False, DataType:=wdPasteText,
Placement:= _
        wdInLine, DisplayAsIcon:=False
    Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
    With Selection.Find
        .Text = strSelectText
        .Replacement.Text = ""
        .Forward = False
        .Wrap = wdFindAsk
        .Format = False
        .MatchCase = False
        .MatchWholeWord = False
        .MatchWildcards = False
        .MatchSoundsLike = False
        .MatchAllWordForms = False
    End With
    Selection.Find.Execute
    Selection.Font.Superscript = wdToggle
End Sub
