assigning key to move next/prev sentence

[dStum]

Hi, I'd like to programmatically assign keys that move to previous sentence
and next sentence. Any suggestions?

Thanks!
Doug

I suppose you could assign a pair of macros to a keyboard shortcut.
Something like:

Sub SelNextSen()
If Selection.Sentences(1) <> ActiveDocument.Sentences.Last Then
Selection.Next(Unit:=wdSentence, Count:=1).Select
Selection.MoveEnd Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=-1
Else
ActiveDocument.Sentences.First.Select
Selection.MoveEnd Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=-1
End If
End Sub

Sub SelPrevSen()
If Selection.Sentences(1) <> ActiveDocument.Sentences.First Then
Selection.Previous(Unit:=wdSentence, Count:=1).Select
Selection.MoveEnd Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=-1
Else
ActiveDocument.Sentences.Last.Select
Selection.MoveEnd Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=-1
End If
End Sub

thanks! how would I assign the subs to the keys using VB, is that possible?
(e.g. instead of using the macro interface. does that make sense?)

dStum,

I don't understand your question. I thought that you wanted a keyboard
shortcut to move from the current sentence to the next or from the current
sentence to the previous. The macros that I provided can be assigned to any
keyboard shortcut using the method in the link I posted. I don't know how
you could make the actually assignments with VBA.

Greg, thanks, the macros worked perfectly. Much appreciate your help!
