title: Allowing user to select text in word vba macro
body: <p>In VBA for Word 2007, I want to be able to open a document, highlight sections of text and replace those sections with fields linked to a docvariables. The process would be: </p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Open document. </li>
  <li>Select text. </li>
  <li>Select docvariable from list. </li>
  <li>Insert field linked to selected docvariable. </li>
  <li>Repeat steps 1-4 as required. </li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>There is no way to know beforehand what the text to be selected is or which docvariable is going to be linked to which field or how many times these steps are going to be repeated.</p>
  
  <p>Only with Microsoft could the most absolutely fundamental, simple task of allowing the user to make a selection at run-time and pass this selection back to sub-routine be so tortuous and surreal. I have spent 2 days trying to figure this out. If anyone can help, I will name my next child after you.</p>
