[Jamualson]

Sub Test()

dim wo as string
dim par as string

wo = Selection.words(1) 'this is ok
par = Selection.Paragraphs(1) 'this is type mismatch

Msgbox par

End Sub

Thank you very much for your idea, I am really stucked with this one. Have a nice day

forgive my ignorance. did you mean to say dim par as paragraph instead of string

Alternatively:
par = Selection.Paragraphs(1).Range.Text

It all depends on what you're trying to do with par...
