I got this to work

Set Obj = CreateObject("Word.basic")
Obj.FileOpen "c:\leasedatabase\lease.rtf"

'Obj.EditSelectAll

 Obj.SetSelection "(2)Landlord first name" <--doesn't work

Where can I get a list of commands I can use, I'd like to replace with
'(2)Landlord first name' with a text value I'll obtain later.

Thanks
