Flags Property Example

This example selects the first word in the active document. The first message box displays "False" because the end of the selection is active. The Flags property makes the beginning of the selection active, and the second message box displays "True."

ActiveDocument.Words(1).Select
MsgBox Selection.StartIsActive
Selection.Flags = wdSelStartActive
MsgBox Selection.StartIsActive

This example turns on overtype mode for the selection.

Selection.Flags = wdSelOvertype
