Escaping from a text box

[Oz Springs]

I want to select all of a document, but if the cursor is in a text box, only
the text therein will be selected.

How can I get the cursor back into the main body of the document so I can
select all the text, including all anchored things like text boxes and
graphics?

Thanks for any help

Oz Springs was telling us:
Oz Springs nous racontait que :

How can I get the cursor back into the main body of the document so I

boxes and graphics?

This will do the trick:
'_______________________________________
Dim StartRange As Range

'To save user selection
Set StartRange = Selection.Range

ActiveDocument.Range(Start:=0, End:=0).Select
Selection.WholeStory

Selection.Copy

'reset user selection
StartRange.Select
'_______________________________________

But why don't you tell us what you are doing? It may not be necessary to
actually select the whole document...
