It just prints the value of the Selection Enumeration. I want something like "wdSelectionIP" instead of just "1".

Hi tinfanide,

AFAIK, the numeric type is the best you'll get via Debug.Print. For anything fancier, you'd need to create a Select Case statement or something such with your own enumeration list to retrieve the names from the numbers and use a MsgBox instead of Debug.Print.

So for Microsoft developers, they're just reading enumeration (numeric types) for reference and check it up on the MSDN tables?
If I need the names, I needa manually populate a list?

If you're using late binding (eg when driving Word from Excel and you want compatability with Office versions older than what you're using), you have to use the numeric values. The text versions are only of any use for macros within Word or that use early binding.

Yes, your old thread told me so. It seems that my coming projects are only to be dependent on numeric values.
