copy selected text to a variable

[ents]

Hi


how can I copy the selected text into a variable?

I have tried some come that uses the clipboard but it does not work




Set MyData = New DataObject
MyData.GetFromClipboard
strClip = MyData.GetText


Word does not know what to do with the Set command

Is there a way to copy the selected text into a variable without using
the clipboard

Sure. Try this:

strClip = Selection.Text
