How do I select next word when in a macro. I have positioned myself to the
start of a word and need to select it so I can do a find.

Selection.Expand wdWord

will select a word when the cursor is at the beginning of it. I am not
sure, however, how you think this will help with a Find.

If you have positioned the cursor to the left of the word, then a simple
Ctrl+Shft+Right arrow will select the next word. You can then create a macro
to search for the selected Word which you may find easier.
