How do I get the document part a Range is in?

[David Thielen]

Hi;

A Range can be in the main document or a header or footer. How can I
get the appropiate parent object of a Range, so I can then select a
range in that parent?

thanks - dave

Hello Dave,

We can first detect the range's story type,
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb256041.aspx

If it is in the main document, range.StoryType returns wdMainTextStory
If it is in the header, range.StoryType returns wdPrimaryHeaderStory
If it is in the footer, range.StroyType returns wdPrimaryFooterStory

After that we can get the parent object respectively via,
Document.Content,
Document.Sections(1).Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range
Document.Sections(1).Footers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range

Is this what you looking for?
