Syntax

expression.MoveUntil(Cset, Count)

expression   Required. An expression that returns a Range of Selection object.

Cset   Required Variant. One or more characters. If any character in Cset is found before the Count value expires, the specified range or selection is positioned as an insertion point immediately before that character. This argument is case sensitive.

Count   Optional Variant. The maximum number of characters by which the specified range or selection is to be moved. Can be a number or either the wdForward or wdBackward constant.
