Example

This example moves the selection before the previous field and then selects the field.

With Selection
    Set MyRange = .GoTo(wdGoToField, wdGoToPrevious)
    .MoveRight Unit:=wdWord, Count:=1, Extend:=wdExtend
    If Selection.Fields.Count = 1 Then Selection.Fields(1).Update
End With

This example moves the selection one character to the right. If the move is successful, MoveRight returns 1.

If Selection.MoveRight = 1 Then MsgBox "Move was successful"

This example moves the selection to the next table cell.

If Selection.Information(wdWithInTable) = True Then
    Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCell, Count:=1, Extend:=wdMove
End If
