Returns True
Examples edit (@examples.testText2);
wp.setSelect (0, 0)

   » true

Using wp.setSelect (0, 0) as in the example above, ensures that the cursor is at the beginning of the document and no text is selected.

edit (@examples.testText2);
wp.setSelect (0, 30);
wp.getSelText ()
This example returns the first 30 characters of the target document.

Notes If the target document is an outline or table in text mode, the selection can never encompass more than one headline. Even if you provide arguments for start and end that would extend the selection past the end of the present heading, the selection will

not be extended past that heading.
