How do I get the whole word of a text selection. For example, If my
TextSelection object IsEmpty = True, then how can I get the whole word?

Similiar behavior can be found when you simply click on a word in code
(without selecting any characters) and hit Ctrl+F (Find) In the find dialog,
is the entire word.

I have also seen this behavior in Carlos Quintero's MZ Tools when you
perform a search.

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Waldo,

I do it getting creating an EditPoint at the cursor position an moving to
the left and to the right getting characters A-Z, 0-9, etc. until I find a
character not in that character set.

Another approach, not sure if it works, is using EditPoint.WordLeft(1) and
EditPoint.WordRight(1).
