Hi Flemming,

You might be able to use

Selection.Type

this will return one of the following WdSelectionType constants
wdSelectionBlock
wdSelectionFrame
wdSelectionIP
wdSelectionRow
wdNoSelection
wdSelectionColumn
wdSelectionInlineShape
wdSelectionNormal
wdSelectionShape


HTH,

The Selection is always a Range (by definition). The questions to ask are a)
what storyrange you are in, and b) what objects, if any, are contained
within that range.

Start with the Selection.Information() function.

Use the Count property of the various object collections -- eg If
Selection.Shapes.Count > 0 ...

Compare the Selection's Start and End values to determine if the selection
is a point or a span of document.
