Determine the extent of the text that has just been inserted in vba

[p45cal]

Say I have just used vba code to insert some plain text into the middle of a document (by using a placeholder bookmark, or a range variable, or less likely, a selection related location), now I want further to manipulate the newly inserted text in vba.
1. Is there a 'best-practice' or method of choice to refer to the newly inserted text.
2. Would the same method be used to identify the range having pasted from Excel using the likes of .PasteExcelTable?

I'd define the range, then add text to it and use the range for any further manipulations of that text. For example:

Sub Demo()
Dim Rng As Range
With ActiveDocument
  Set Rng = .Sections.First.Range.Tables(1).Range.Cells(1).Range.Paragraphs(1).Range.Characters.Last
  With Rng
    .Collapse wdCollapseStart
    .Text = "Hello World"
    With .Words.First.Font
      .Bold = True
      .ColorIndex = wdPink
    End With
    With .Words.Last.Font
      .Italic = True
      .ColorIndex = wdBrightGreen
    End With
  End With
End With
End Sub

Thankyou for this macropod, I'll try to use this in the thread: http://www.vbaexpress.com/forum/show...on-cell-values where I found the process of formatting inserted text to be more convoluted than I would want/expect.
