Select a area in a Word Document

I want a Word Macro that can find a word in a document then select everything from the end of that line that word was found in to the top of the document. Then do a copy and paste special to text. Here's what I have so far but once it moves to the top nothing is selected. Any suggestion?

signed confused.

Sub test3()
With ActiveDocument.Content.Find
.Text = "Safety Stock"
.Forward = True
.Execute

If .Found = True Then
.Parent.Select
Selection.Expand wdLine
myRange = Selection

End If

End With

ThisDocument.Bookmarks("\StartOfDoc").Select

End Sub

This should get you on track

Code:

Sub ScratchMacro()
'A basic Word macro coded by Greg Maxey
Dim oRng As Word.Range
Set oRng = ActiveDocument.Range
  With oRng.Find
    .ClearFormatting
    .Text = "Safety Stock"
    If .Execute Then
      
      oRng.Select
      Selection.Expand wdLine
      Selection.Start = ActiveDocument.Range.Start
    End If
  End With
End Sub

Gregg,

thanks, that's exactly what I needed. I can stumble around with Excel Macro but the Word Macros are different.
