Data Type

Description

Cset

Required

Variant

One or more characters. This argument is case sensitive.

Count

Optional

Variant

The maximum number of characters by which the specified range is to be moved. Can be a number or either the wdForward or wdBackward constant. If Count is a positive number, the range is moved forward in the document. If it is a negative number, the range is moved backward. The default value is wdForward.

Remarks

This method returns the number of characters by which the end position of the specified range was moved, as a Long value. If Count is greater than 0 (zero), this method returns the number of characters moved plus 1. If Count is less than 0 (zero), this method returns the number of characters moved minus 1. If no Cset characters are found, the range isn't changed and the method returns 0 (zero). If the end position is moved backward to a point that precedes the original start position, the start position is set to the new ending position.

Example

This example extends the selected text forward in the document until the letter "a" is found. The example then expands the selection by one character to include the letter "a".

With Selection.Range 
 .MoveEndUntil Cset:="a", Count:=wdForward 
 .MoveRight Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1, Extend:=wdExtend 
End With
