word automation active document copy

[Steve]

I'm using the following code to make a copy of the active word document
after mailmerge has occurred. It copies and pastes the contents of the
active document into a new document, saves the new document to disk and then
deletes the new document.

WordApp.Selection.WholeStory()
WordApp.Selection.Copy()
Dim newDoc As New Word.Document
newDoc.Activate()
WordApp.Selection.Paste()
WordApp.ActiveDocument.SaveAs(sTempDocumentFile)

WordApp.ActiveDocument.Close(Word.WdSaveOptions.wd DoNotSaveChanges)
WordDoc.Close()

When the original document becomes the active document again, the document
is highlighted due to the copy operation. I can restore the active document
and then hit a mouse click which will unhighlight the content. But I want
to do this in code.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Steve

Try collapsing the selection (I think it's collapsetostart or collapsetoend
or something - sorry, been a few years with office automation).

That worked. You would think they would just have a
WordApp.Selection.Cancel or something. Anyway...thanks...

P.S. Would you have any thoughts on an earlier message I posted regarding
centering and sizing a word automation active document window (see 12/2/2006
