Selecting a line after finding a word

[Akhilesh Agarwal]

Hi !!!

I am searching through a word document using .Find method. After I find the
particular text I am looking for I want to select the line which contains
this text.

Is is possible to do so ? Please help....

Thanks,

Akhilesh.

Hi Akhilesh,

Select the found text using the Select method (if you haven't already been
applying the Find method to the Selection). Then use the following line of
code to select the entire line

ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("\Line").Range.Select

There are a number of predefined bookmarks in Word which move & change to
mark text relative to the selection. \Line is one of them.

Find selects the text. Position in the selected range. Move to one end of the
line. Move to the other end with select specified.
