MoveEndWhile Method

Applies To

Range object, Selection object.

Description

Moves the ending character position of a range or selection while any of the specified characters are found in the document.

Remarks

While any character in Cset is found, the end position of the specified range or selection is moved. This method returns the number of characters that the end position of the range or selection moved as a Long value. If no Cset characters are found, the range or selection 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 end position.
