I would like to write a macro in Word which allows me to surround any text I
have selected with a set of parentheses. How can I do this?

Selection.Text = Chr(32) & Selection.Text & Chr(32)

I think that 32 is the ASCII for a double quote - you might want to check!

Selection.Text = Chr(32) & Selection.Text & Chr(32)
