Hi joel,

It's just a matter of properly defining which references you're using where. After all, depending on where you're at with your code,
Selection could refer to either an Excel range or a Word range and you need to be clear as to which Selection you're referring to.

You are probably correct when you are working with Word VBA that
selection isn't required. I've had lots of problems when I when I try
to access a word document using Excel VBA. The excel VBA gets confused
if it should use the Excel library or Word library when the methods are
the same. I think it has to do with which occurs first in the Reference
list. VBA should look at the object type to determine which is the
correct library but I don't think it does. Then if you revverse the
reference order of the two libraries word wil word correctly and excel
won't.
