MS Word 2016 - select workaround

Hi folks,

Since MS removed the select command how do I go about ‘selecting’ elements in a document?

I get the idea that the approach now is to SET the range I’m interested in. But I’m not at all clear on how to get the limits or definitions of specific ranges.

Sections for example. How do I determine how many sections are in a document? I see there’s a section index property - how do I get the list of sections?

I would also appreciate any links to tutorials for scripting MS Word 2016 as I’m having a hard time finding anything relating to that.

Thanks
