Paragraphs.Add method (Word)
Returns a Paragraph object that represents a new, blank paragraph added to the document. When the caller is not the last paragraph in a document, Paragraph adds a new, blank paragraph at the insertion point. When adding a paragraph to the very end, the insertion point will be before the last paragraph, and thus the new paragraph will be inserted as the second-to-last.
