Get word from word doc on mouse right click Kaustav 27.09.2006 04:33:03 Hi, How can I get the word in a MS Word document when we right click the mouse on it or when the cursor is at the word's end. I am not selecting the word out here. It is like similar to what MS Word offers when we right click any word and select "Lookup" from the context menu or use "Spell Check" for it.

Re: Get word from word doc on mouse right click Kaustav 27.09.2006 07:48:02 Hi Jezebel, will this be applicable only if I have selected some text. My scenario is that I have a sentence like - "This is brown crow" and my cursor is at the end of the word crow. Now if I right click at that position, how do I get the word "crow" or if I place the mouse between the letters "r" and "o" of the word "crow" and then do a right click, how do I still manage to retrieve the word "crow". Word is able to do this. What I would like to know is how it does this? What does it expose for this functionality? Thanks.

Re: Get word from word doc on mouse right click "Jezebel" <warcrimes[ at ]whitehouse.gov> 27.09.2006 07:59:45 Why not try it, rather than guessing? The code I gave you will select the word containing the selection, even if the selection is a single point. So if your cursor is within the word crow (eg between the letters "r" and "o") sel.Words(1) will return "crow". If your cursor is not within a word then you have to do a little more work, extending the range either forward or backward: which direction depends on the logic of what you're doing.

Re: Get word from word doc on mouse right click Klaus Linke 30.09.2006 02:16:02 And regarding the right-click: Put the macro on the context menu for "Text" (and "Headings" and maybe a few more, like those for tables...), manually from "Tools > Customize", or through VBA. Klaus
