I need to copy a block of formatted text from one document to another.

Immediately after the paste, I need to adjust the selection depending
upon certain conditions.

So I need the selection to come into the new document 'highlighted' (and
retain its formatting). A normal copy/paste operation collapses the
insertion point to the end.

Can I do what I want?

This will do the needful

Sub PasteAndHighlight()
Dim iStart As Long
iStart = Selection.Start
Selection.Paste
Selection.Start = iStart
End Sub
