Mark,
The basic code I gave assumed you start with nothing selected. (When run that
way, nothing is selected when the macro finishes.) I gather from your post that
you'll have text selected before running the macro. In that case you'd want to
collapse the selection at the end:
Selection.Collapse wdCollapseStart
This assumes you want the initially selected text to be *replaced* by the
AutoText. If instead you want that text to remain, then disregard the line
above and collapse the selection *before* the AutoText is inserted. You'll also
need to decide whether you want it collapsed to its start (as above) or to its
end (wdCollapseEnd).
One important tip: *Please* don't snip the prior post in a thread if you're
asking a follow-up question on it. Leave the entire thread quoted intact.
Those of us who roam the newsgroups answering questions may respond to dozens of
posts per day, so it's rarely possible for us to call up an individual post up
from memory -- even if the poster *does* have the same first name.
