The answer to my question, in case anyone else is interested:
Set rangeresult = Selection.Range
In short, not specifying anything for start and endpoints for the selection
property...which is, to me, counter-intuitive to the select and range
methods that grab the entire object when I don't indicate start and
endpoints (activedocument.select and activedocument.range).
