How to select here to [Find xyz] ?? "InOverMyHead" <bbart[ at ]netcom.com> 10/20/2008 6:04:19 PM I need to select all text from the current insertion point (curser location) up to the next occurance of the text string "xyz" - on the keyboard. (I want it in a macro eventually.) I can't seem to integrate the Find (F3) function into the Select function. Is this possible? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: How to select here to [Find xyz] ?? "Herb Tyson [MVP]" <herb[ at ]1x2y3z.xnw> 10/20/2008 10:49:47 PM Press F8, then do the Find. F8 is Extend Selection. If you press F8 and type a "t" for example, it will extend the selection up to the next "t". If you press F8 and then do a Find, it will extend the selection up to the found text. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "InOverMyHead" <bbart[ at ]netcom.com> wrote in message news:OipRH5tMJHA.5232[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl...
