Example
If Word is set so that typing replaces selected text, this example collapses the selection before inserting "Hello." This technique prevents existing document text from being replaced.
If Options.ReplaceSelection = True Then
Selection.Collapse Direction:=wdCollapseStart
Selection.TypeText Text:="Hello"
End If
This example inserts "Title" followed by a new paragraph.
Options.ReplaceSelection = False
With Selection
.TypeText Text:="Title"
.TypeParagraph
End With
