How to select 2 distinct parts of the active document (as we do with Ctrl + mouse in Word)

[Ddadoo57]

Hello,

Is it possible in Word VBA to select 2 distinct parts of the active document, I mean not one after the other? ( as we do with Ctrl + mouse in Word)

For example, I have the following content in my document and I want to select paragraph 1 and 3 only.

Paragraph 1
Paragraph 2
Paragraph 3


Paragraph 4

Thanks for your help!

No, non-contiguous selections are not possible in VBA.

Thanks for your feedback Italophile !

While is it is not possible to select it in the sense you ask, it is possible to highlight or manipulate in other ways. What is you end goal?

[Ddadoo57]

Hi, Yes I understand, it's really the non-contiguous selection I wanted, not the highlighting.

I'll work it out another way.

Thanks for your reply.

Don't forget that when working in VBA it is neither necessary nor advisable to select anything. Work with the objects directly instead, e.g. Paragraph, Range

[Ddadoo57]

yes, most of the time I use Range and Paragraph, but this was a special case.
Thanks, Italophile!
