Please Note: This article is written for users of the following Microsoft Word versions: 2007, 2010, and 2013. If you are using an earlier version (Word 2003 or earlier), this tip may not work for you. For a version of this tip written specifically for earlier versions of Word, click here: Moving the Insertion Point to the End of a Line.
If you need to move the insertion point to the end of a line under the control of a VBA macro, it is done with the EndKey method. Syntax examples are as follows:
Selection.EndKey Unit:=wdLine, Extend:=wdMove Selection.EndKey Unit:=wdLine, Extend:=wdExtend
The first line simply moves the insertion point, the second moves it and selects all the text between the current insertion point and the end of the line.
