How to move insert point to the beginning of a paragraph

[JLee]

This seems like it should be a simple thing to do, but I cannot figure out how to move the insert point to the beginning of the current paragraph.

First, I tried to record a macro and simply recorded the [CTRL]+UpArrow key combination. The resulting macro works fine when the cursor is located anywhere in the text of a paragraph of text, but moves the cursor to the previous paragraph if the cursor is already at the beginning of the current paragraph. I need the cursor to work in both cases (that is, position itself at the beginning of the paragraph regardless of its current position). Once the cursor is at the beginning of the paragraph, I want to insert a simple string of text

I am having no success using any of the Move or Collapse methods to move the cursor to the right place. I've tried the InsertBefore method, too, but can't make that method work with a paragraph either. Help

selection.Paragraphs(1).Range.Select
selection.Collapse

selection.Paragraphs(1).Range.Select

selection.Collapse

.... or, recording Ctrl+UpArrow with the macro recorder:
Selection.MoveUp Unit:=wdParagraph, Count:=1
