I thought it was under "selection" but it turns out the explanation is 
under "selectedChunk":

"If no text is selected but the text insertion point is in a field, the 
startChar is the character after the insertion point, and the endChar is 
the character before the insertion point. In this case, the endChar is 
one less than the startChar."

I think it should be in both places. "Selection" is easier to work with 
than parsing the selectedChunk and putting new text after word 2 of it.
