Start Property

Gets or sets the starting point of selected text. The first possible position is 0. If the starting point of a selection is set to a new value, the selection's current length remains the same. To set a new starting point and a length simultaneously, use either the TextControl.Select method or create a new Selection object. To select parts of a table, use the Table.Select, TableRow.Select, TableColumn.Select and TableCell.Select methods.

Syntax
