I think that this line is giving you fits:

.Selection.MoveDown Unit:=wdScreen, Count:=1

Try changing it to:

 #DEFINE wdScreen 7
 .Selection.MoveDown(wdScreen, 1)

VBA supports Named Parameters, which is that Unit:=wdScreen construct. This allows you to specify the wdScreen is the value for the Unit parameter; you can mix the order of the parameters, and not have to count commas to pass only the seventh parameter (if that's what you need to do).

Try changing the code and see if that works.
