How to identify the paragraph number you are on

Hello

Currently struggling with something that I'm sure is obvious but Googling the question has not yielded success!

I'm writing a macro which will select ranges of text from a large document and paste it into a new one. I want to do this by selecting a particular paragraph number to copy. However, I can find no way of easily identifying which the paragraph number I am on.

At the bottom of the Word page it identifies the line number, word number, section number, etc, but there is no paragraph number identifier. Anyone know how to find this out?

Thanks

Hi Saneman,

Try:

Code:

Sub Demo()
Dim Rng As Range
With ActiveDocument
  Set Rng = .Range(0, 0)
  Rng.End = Selection.Paragraphs.First.Range.End
  MsgBox Rng.ComputeStatistics(wdStatisticParagraphs)
End With
End Sub
