a really basic question on ":="

[Bong]

I tried to look in old threads for this but I don't even know how to start:

Sometimes when I use the Macro Recorder, the manufactured code contains the operator, ":=", as in [red]Selection.MoveDown Unit:=wdLine, Count:=4[/red]

What does this operator signify and how is it used generally? I infer from the example that it specifies the values of parameters for a function(?) or operation(?).

This is the operator for assigning values to named parameters.

Hope This Helps, PH.

Yes, indeed. Thanks. "Named" was the keyword I needed.
