Getting a line from a Word document using the Selection object

How can I get a line from a Word document using the Selection object in VBA? Something like this:

Selection.MoveDown Unit:=wdLine, Count:=15
'print the 15th line here

EDIT: When i do:

Selection.MoveDown Unit:=wdLine, Count:=15
MsgBox (Selection.Text)

It prints only the first character of the line.

You need to expand the selection:

Selection.MoveDown Unit:=wdLine, Count:=15
Selection.Expand wdLine
MsgBox (Selection.Text)
