Application.WindowSelectionChange event (Word)
Occurs when the selection changes in the active document window.
Note
If you are working with a document embedded within another document, this event will not occur.
Syntax
expression.WindowSelectionChange (Sel)
expression A variable that represents an Application object that has been declared with events in a class module. For more information about using events with the Application object, see Using events with the Application object.
Parameters
| Name | Required/Optional | Data type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sel | Required | Selection | The text selected. If no text is selected, the Sel parameter returns either nothing or the first character to the right of the insertion point. |
