Range.Paragraph - IsAtStart, IsAtEnd, IsEmpty

[David Thielen]

For a Paragraph, how do I determine if a Range object (Start == End)
is at the beginning, at the end, and if the paragraph is empty.

Hello Dave,

The paragraph object has a range property that represents the whole range of
the specified paragraph. So, we can,

1. Detect whether the paragraph is empty:
We just to check the paragraph.Range.Start and paragraph.Range.End. If the
end is 1 bigger(because the paragraph Enter occupies one character space)
than the start, this paragraph is empty.
----------------------------
Sub Test()

Dim p As Paragraph
For Each p In ActiveDocument.Paragraphs
If p.Range.Start = p.Range.End - 1 Then
Debug.Print "Paragraph is empty"
End If
Next
End Sub

----------------------------

2. Detect whether a range is at Start,
We can test whether the range.Start equals to
range.Paragraph(1).Range.Start. If yes, the range is at the beginning of the
paragraph.

3. Detect whether a range is at End,
We can test whether the range.End equals to the
range.Paragraph(1).Range.End. If yes, the range is at the end of the
paragraph.


Hope this helps.
