Sub DocumentRange()
ActiveDocument.Range(Start:=0, End:=10).Bold = True
End Sub
This example creates a range that starts at the beginning of the active document and ends at the cursor position, and then it changes all characters within that range to uppercase.
Sub DocumentRange2()
Dim r As Range
Set r = ActiveDocument.Range(Start:=0, End:=Selection.End)
r.Case = wdUpperCase
End Sub
This example creates and sets the variable myRange to paragraphs two through four in the active document, and then it right-aligns the paragraphs in the range.
Sub DocumentRange3()
Dim aDoc As Document
Dim myRange As Range
Set aDoc = ActiveDocument
If aDoc.Paragraphs.Count >= 6 Then
Set myRange = aDoc.Range(aDoc.Paragraphs(2).Range.Start, _
aDoc.Paragraphs(4).Range.End)
myRange.Paragraphs.Alignment = wdAlignParagraphRight
End If
End Sub
