Word Office - moveStart

[aiter]

I cannot get  the method movestart to work in my program

$oRange = _Word_DocFind($oDoc, "3 4") ; return a range
$oRange.MoveStart($WdLine,-1) ; supposed to move the start range to the beginning of the line

I get an error '... requested action with this object has failed.'

I have seen this statement used in Word.Udf, but cannot see why my statement is failing.

Help appreciated.

This works

$myrange.MoveStart($WdParagraph,-1)

Question is why is $WdLine failing then? 

Also how do I trap errors like these.

Pity there is no Try...Catch in Autoit

Which version of AutoIt do you run?

[aiter]

3.3.14.2

That is what the @AutoItVersion variable is returning. Is this the right way to look up the version?

Correct.

You need to add a COM error handler as this version of AutoIt crashes when a COM error occurs and there is no COM error handler.

This is what I need, but no idea on how to do it yet.

I would appreciate a link or example on how to do this, if its not too much trouble.

Sorry, missed to mention where to find further information.

Please check the help file for ObjEvent.
