Selection.MoveUp Unit:=wdParagraph, Count:=1 is supposed to move you to the
beginning of the current pragraph (equivalent to CTRL +UP ARROW).
However this does not appear to work for a blank  paragraph.
The (not flawless) workaround is to move to the end of the paragraph first,
then the beginning as  follows:
        Selection.MoveDown Unit:=wdParagraph, Count:=1
        Selection.MoveUp Unit:=wdParagraph, Count:=1
The only know case this will fail is on the last line of the document.
Does anyone has a more full proof way to get to the beginning of the current
paragraph?

Frank Goovaerts?

Hi Frank,

Well, normally I wouldn't even MOVE to the beginning of any paragraph.
Usually, I want to process a document without moving the cursor: that's
faster, and more accurate.

In the case I would (because the user should start typing there, for
instance), then I'd collapse the range, and select that point. Roughly:

Dim rng as Word.Range

Set rng = Selection.Range.Paragraphs(1).Range
rng.Collapse wdCollapseStart
rng.Select
