How to programmatically catch selected text?

[Luc Querton]

Greetings,

Assume some text is manually selected (highlighted) in the preview pane, is
there any programmatic way to catch it to assign it in order to a variable?

If not, is it at all possible in an "ActiveExplorer" or "Inspector" object?

Thanks for your guidance,
Luc

If text is selected in an open item and you are using WordMail then
you can see what's selected by using the Word object model on that
open document. Otherwise you cannot tell what text is selected.

That is what I suspected. Thanks for your reply.
