The following sample Visual Basic for Applications subroutine (or macro)
demonstrates looping through a document, line by line. After it selects a line,
it displays a message box containing the line number. Click OK in the message
box to allow the code to continue to the next line.

     Sub LineByLine()
        Dim x As Integer
        Dim fdWord As String
        ' Move the insertion point to the beginning of the document.
        Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdStory, Extend:=wdMove
        ' Loop number of lines in document.
        x = ActiveDocument.BuiltInDocumentProperties("NUMBER OF LINES")
        For i = 1 To x
           ' Select a line.
           ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("\LINE").Select
           ' Display line number.
           MsgBox "Line: " & i
           ' Move to next line.
           Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1, Extend:=wdMove
        Next i
     End Sub
