MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / July 2005Get user selection
I am writing a VBA macro. I want to pause and let the user select some text in the document and then continue execution. Is this possible?  SignaturePeter Aitken Remove the crap from my email address before using. Not easy. What are you actually trying to do? Why do you need the selection to change while the macro is running? >I am writing a VBA macro. I want to pause and let the user select some text >in the document and then continue execution. Is this possible? The macro is processing a document. At this point the user needs to look at the document and make a decision (something I could not automate because it requires human judgement) and either select some text or select nothing. Then the macro will continue and based on whether text was selected or not go down one of two different paths. SignaturePeter Aitken Remove the crap from my email address before using. > Not easy.
