Also, you can try the following:
Code:
Sub LastName_2()
ActiveDocument.range.Paragraphs(1).range.words.Last.Select
selection.Previous(unit:=wdWord, count:=2).Select
MsgBox selection
End Sub
Note: instead of 'words' you can use 'Characters' in the 2nd line, which selects the unprintable paragraph sign.
Besides, you can try this one-liner:
Code:
Sub LastName_2()
ActiveDocument.Paragraphs(1).range.words.Last.Previous(unit:=wdWord, count:=2).Select
End Sub
