GoTo Method
Document or Range object: Returns a Range object that represents the start position of the specified item, such as a page, bookmark, or field.
Selection object: Moves the insertion point to the character position immediately preceding the specified item, and returns a Range object (except for the wdGoToGrammaticalError, wdGoToProofreadingError, or wdGoToSpellingError constant).
expression.GoTo(What, Which, Count, Name)
expression Required. An expression that returns one of the objects in the Applies To list.
WdGoToItem
| WdGoToItem can be one of these WdGoToItem constants. |
| wdGoToBookmark |
| wdGoToComment |
| wdGoToEndnote |
| wdGoToEquation |
| wdGoToField |
| wdGoToFootnote |
| wdGoToGrammaticalError |
| wdGoToGraphic |
| wdGoToHeading |
| wdGoToLine |
| wdGoToObject |
| wdGoToPage |
| wdGoToPercent |
| wdGoToProofreadingError |
| wdGoToRevision |
| wdGoToSection |
| wdGoToSpellingError |
| wdGoToTable |
WdGoToDirection
| WdGoToDirection can be one of these WdGoToDirection constants. |
| wdGoToAbsolute |
| wdGoToFirst |
| wdGoToLast |
| wdGoToNext |
| wdGoToPrevious |
| wdGoToRelative |
Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToHeading, Which:=wdGoToFirst
Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToHeading, Which:=wdGoToAbsolute, Count:=1
Count Optional Variant. The number of the item in the document. The default value is 1. The following example moves the selection to the fourth line in the document.
Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToLine, Which:=wdGoToAbsolute, Count:=4
Only positive values are valid. To specify an item that precedes the range or selection, use wdGoToPrevious as the Which argument and specify a Count value. The following example moves the selection up two lines.
Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToLine, Which:=wdGoToPrevious, Count:=2
Name Optional Variant. If the What argument is wdGoToBookmark, wdGoToComment, wdGoToField, or wdGoToObject, this argument specifies a name. The following example moves to the next DATE field.
Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToField, Name:="Date"
Remarks
When you use the GoTo method with the wdGoToGrammaticalError, wdGoToProofreadingError, or wdGoToSpellingError constant, the Range that's returned includes any grammar error text or spelling error text.
Example
This example moves the selection to the first cell in the next table.
Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToTable, Which:=wdGoToNext
This example moves the insertion point just before the fifth endnote reference mark in the active document.
If ActiveDocument.Endnotes.Count >= 5 Then
Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToEndnote, _
Which:=wdGoToAbsolute, Count:=5
End If
This example sets R1 equal to the first footnote reference mark in the active document.
If ActiveDocument.Footnotes.Count >= 1 Then
Set R1 = ActiveDocument.GoTo(What:=wdGoToFootnote, _
Which:=wdGoToFirst)
R1.Expand Unit:=wdCharacter
End If
This example moves the selection down four lines.
Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToLine, Which:=wdGoToRelative, Count:=4
This example moves the selection back two pages.
Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToPage, Which:=wdGoToPrevious, Count:=2
