Bizarre error with .Information() function

[Jezebel]

I have a VB app that works with Word (W2000). At one point the app responds
to user action within a table, and uses this instruction:

If pSelRange.Information(wdAtEndOfRowMarker) Then
...

(pSelRange refers to the user's selection.)

Following this instruction, regardless of whether it returns true or not:

1) The *second* keystroke pressed is tripled (eg you type 'AB' and Word
displays 'ABBB'). Only the second, not the first, third or subsequent.

2) If you tab out of the last cell in the table, Word creates new rows
repeatedly until it crashes.


If the instruction is commented out, the problem does not appear. Has anyone
seen anything remotely similar?

Hi Jezebel,

I can't reproduce the problem with just that bit of the code, but shouldn't
you be testing for a value?

Not sure I understand you. Testing what for a value? The function returns
TRUE or FALSE, similar to .Information(wdWithinTable). The procedure as a
whole appears to function correctly; the strange behaviour appears
subsequently, as far as I can tell solely as a result of asking the
question. Very odd.

Hi Jezebel,

Oops, I was playing around with Information(wdEndOfRangeRowNumber).
Eyesight's not what it used to be.
