Range.MoveStartUntil (Word)

Moves the start position of the specified range until one of the specified characters is found in the document.

If the movement is backward through the document, the range is expanded. This method returns the number of characters by which the start position of the specified range moved, as a Long value. If Count is greater than 0 (zero), this method returns the number of characters moved plus 1. If Count is less than 0 (zero), this method returns the number of characters moved minus 1. If no Cset characters are found, the specified range isn't changed and the method returns 0 (zero). If the start position is moved forward to a point beyond the end position, the range is collapsed and both the start and end positions are moved together.
