This example extends the selection down one line.

  Selection.MoveDown Unit:=wdLine, Count:=1, Extend:=wdExtend

This example moves the selection down three paragraphs. If the move is successful, "Company" is inserted at the insertion point.

  unitsMoved = Selection.MoveDown(Unit:=wdParagraph, _
    Count:=3, Extend:=wdMove)
If unitsMoved = 3 Then Selection.Text = "Company"

This example displays the current line number, moves the selection down three lines, and displays the current line number again.

  MsgBox "Line " & Selection.Information(wdFirstCharacterLineNumber)
Selection.MoveDown Unit:=wdLine, Count:=3, Extend:=wdMove
MsgBox "Line " & Selection.Information(wdFirstCharacterLineNumber)
