SYMPTOMS
========

When you use the Visual Basic for Applications Selection Property to return text
from a sentence, the paragraph mark is not included. By contrast, when you use
the Sentences collection to return text of a sentence, the paragraph mark is
included.

The following macro demonstrates this behavior. The first message box will
display 0 (zero) indicating that no paragraph mark is contained within the
selection. The second message box will display 12 indicating that a paragraph
mark is found within the selection whose position within the selection is the
twelfth character.

     Sub SentencesCollection()
        ActiveDocument.Range.Text = "Sentence 1." & vbCr & "Sentence 2."
        Selection.MoveRight wdSentence, 1, wdExtend
        MsgBox InStr(1, Selection, vbCr)
        MsgBox InStr(1, Selection.Sentences(1), vbCr)
     End Sub
