Get user selection

[Peter Aitken]

I am writing a VBA macro. I want to pause and let the user select some text
in the document and then continue execution. Is this possible?

 

[Jezebel]

Not easy. What are you actually trying to do? Why do you need the selection
to change while the macro is running?

 

[Peter Aitken]

The macro is processing a document. At this point the user needs to look at
the document and make a decision (something I could not automate because it
requires human judgement) and either select some text or select nothing.
Then the macro will continue and based on whether text was selected or not
go down one of two different paths.

Peter Aitken was telling us:

Can't you ask the user to make that selection before launching the macro?
