Syntax

    <InAttribute()> Optional ByRef Unit As Object, _
    <InAttribute()> Optional ByRef Count As Object _
) As Integer

    &Object^ Count
);

public int MoveStart(
    /*in*/System.Object Unit, 
    /*in*/System.Object Count
);

function MoveStart(
     Unit : Object, 
     Count : Object
) : int;

Parameters

• Unit
  Optional WdUnits. The unit by which start position of the specified range or selection is to be moved.

• Count
  Optional Object. The maximum number of units by which the specified range or selection is to be moved. If Count is a positive number, the start position of the range or selection is moved forward in the document. If it's a negative number, the start position is moved backward. If the start position is moved forward to a position beyond the end position, the range or selection is collapsed and both the start and end positions are moved together. The default value is 1.

Remarks

This method returns an integer that indicates the number of units by which the start position or the range or selection actually moved, or it returns 0 (zero) if the move was unsuccessful.
