I should have stated the entire code. I'm trying to get the text of a Word document like this:

Dim nWord As Word.Application
Set nWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")

nWord.DisplayAlerts = 0 'wdAlertsNone
nWord.Documents.Open uFile, False, True, , , , , , , , , , True
nWord.Selection.WholeStory

GetText = nWord.Selection.Range.Text'return the text of the Word document

nWord.ActiveDocument.Close False

nWord.Quit False
Set nWord = Nothing

Can you please tell me in which way getting nDoc separately would help me?
