Thank you very much, vivka! I guess it's like almost everything else in the world, it's easy if you know it! I could for some reason not get ActiveDocument.range to work, but I added a Selection.WholeStory above the sub, and that worked. It's actually a part of a larger macro, but that didn't give me any problems, using WordBasic.StartOfDocument as the line under this part of the macro made it go without a hich.
