I need this macro to work on the paragraph that I have Selected
(highlighted) in the Word document. However, when I run this macro, it works
on the whole document EXCEPT what I have selected. Can you fix it for me?

Hi,
if you want to delete the paragraph mark
of the one completely selected paragraph, this would be sufficient:
Selection.Characters.Last.Delete
The following works on paragraph the cursor is in
or on the first of several selected paragraphs:
Selection.Paragraphs(1).Range.Characters.Last.Delete
