How can I test to see if a Selection object has been deleted?

[David Thielen]

I am caching one and so Word can then delete it and I don't know it
has been deleted. When I go to access it, it throws an exception.

How can I test if it's been un-marshalled (or whatever is done to it)?

thanks - dave

I would think that the very idea of caching this object is incompatible with
the definition and purpose of the object. It represents the "current"
selection, and "There can be only one Selection object per document window
pane," both quotes from the Word VB help.

Hi;

Let me rephrase, I'm caching the Range. But you are right - I now
cache the Start & End value which does make more sense.
