Andrews,
I had already tried that. But I do have an update. Coming back to this issue a little later yesterday, I discovered that DoEvents was not the solution. The solution was realizing the whole issue was my own fault.
I tried the process with my installation of Word 2010 and 2003 and like others have reported, there was no issue. Something about my installation of Word 2019 was the culprit. Then I remembered that years ago, I had created a small procedure to ensure the correct (or my preferred) view and zoom when I open Word (Word 2019) or create a new document.
It was an element in that procedure that was resetting the selection. It was perplexing simply because I was focusing on Document.Close as the culprit (which it seems to be) but actually it was the Document.Add which triggered the external procedure. I'm still not clear why the issue doesn't appear if the new document is left open or if the Stop is inserted but can't spend more time trying to fix something no longer broken. Thanks for posting.
