After you define a Range object in a Microsoft Office Word document, you change its start and end points by using the MoveStart(Object%, Object%) and MoveEnd(Object%, Object%) methods. The MoveStart(Object%, Object%) and MoveEnd(Object%, Object%) methods take the same two arguments, Unit and Count. The Count argument is the number of units to move, and the Unit argument can be one of the following WdUnits values:
wdCharacter()()()
wdWord()()()
wdSentence()()()
wdParagraph()()()
wdSection()()()
wdStory()()()
wdCell()()()
wdColumn()()()
wdRow()()()
wdTable()()()
The following example defines a seven-character range. It then moves the start position of the range seven characters after the original start position. Because the end position of the range was also seven characters after the start position, the result is a range that consists of zero characters. The code then moves the end position seven characters after the current end position.
To extend a range
Define a range of characters. For more information, see How to: Define and Select Ranges in Documents.
The following code example can be used in a document-level customization.
|
Dim rng As Word.Range = Me.Range(Start:=0, End:=7)
|
|
object start = 0;
object end = 7;
Word.Range rng = this.Range(ref start, ref end);
|
The following code example can be used in an application-level add-in. This example uses the active document.
|
Dim rng As Word.Range = Me.Application.ActiveDocument.Range(Start:=0, End:=7)
|
|
object start = 0;
object end = 7;
Word.Range rng = this.Application.ActiveDocument.Range(
ref start, ref end);
|
Use the MoveStart(Object%, Object%) method of the Range object to move the start position of the range.
|
rng.MoveStart(Unit:=Word.WdUnits.wdCharacter, Count:=7)
|
|
object unit = Word.WdUnits.wdCharacter;
object count = 7;
rng.MoveStart(ref unit, ref count);
|
Use the MoveEnd(Object%, Object%) method of the Range object to move the end position of the range.
|
rng.MoveEnd(Unit:=Word.WdUnits.wdCharacter, Count:=7)
|
|
unit = Word.WdUnits.wdCharacter;
count = 7;
rng.MoveEnd(ref unit, ref count);
