how to return the character code of the current character?

[Abeness]

I need a means of returning the Unicode character code of the character
adjacent to the cursor, to a variable. In Corel Ventura it's as simple as

..TextSpecialItemType lCharCode

(well, that returns a Long, lCharCode)

I've poked around the VBA Word Object Browser but haven't been able to
pinpoint the property or method I'd use to extract this info. Could
someone please enlighten me? Using Word 2003 and potentially also 2002.

Thanks,

Abe

It is just as simple in VBA!


Dim MyCharCode As Long

MyCharCode = AscW(Selection.Text)
