Selection.InsertAfter(String) Method

Definition

Inserts the specified text at the end of a selection.

public:
 void InsertAfter(System::String ^ Text);
public void InsertAfter (string Text);
abstract member InsertAfter : string -> unit
Public Sub InsertAfter (Text As String)

Parameters

Text
String

Required String. The text to be inserted.

Remarks

After this method is applied, the selection expands to include the new text.

If you use this method with a selection that refers to an entire paragraph, the text is inserted after the ending paragraph mark (the text will appear at the beginning of the next paragraph). To insert text at the end of a paragraph, determine the ending point and subtract 1 from this location (the paragraph mark is one character).

However, if the selection ends with a paragraph mark that also happens to be the end of the document, Microsoft Word inserts the text before the final paragraph mark rather than creating a new paragraph at the end of the document.

Also, if the selection is a bookmark, Word inserts the specified text but does not extend the selection or the bookmark to include the new text.
