Determining if you are in an end of row marker (Word 2003)

Topic

New Reply

In a macro I have designed I move down one paragraph in a table. In some cases, this results in the cursor ending up to the right of the last column in the end of row marker.

Is there a way in VBA to determine if you are in an end of row marker, so I can take appropriate action?

Thanks!!

Edited by StuartR to replace a complicated method with a much simpler one

I think that the simplest way is to check if
Selection.Information(wdAtEndOfRowMarker) is True

Works great!! The help actually mentions a couple of things. The syntax was actually different from the example.

IsEndOfRowMark Property
See AlsoApplies ToExampleSpecificsTrue if the specified selection or range is collapsed and is located at the end-of-row mark in a table. Read-only Boolean.

Note This property is the equivalent of the following expression:

Selection.Information(wdAtEndOfRowMarker)

Example
This example collapses the selection and selects the current row if the insertion point is at the end of the row (just before the end-of-row mark).

Selection.Collapse Direction:=wdCollapseEnd
If Selection.IsEndOfRowMark = True Then
    Selection.Rows(1).Select
End If

Either one of them works. I searched several ways in the help, but never found this topic.

Thanks for the help!!
