Word VBA - Move cursor to start of current paragraph but don't move it if it is already there

I want to move the cursor to the start of the current paragraph. If I do the normal

    Selection.MoveUp Unit:=wdParagraph, count:=1

the cursor goes to the start of the current paragraph, unless it is already there, in which case it moves to the beginning of the previous paragraph.  How do I prevent it from doing that, ie don't move it if it's already at the start of the paragraph.

Learn to love ranges :)

Dim oRng As Range
Set oRng = Selection.Paragraphs(1).Range
oRng.Collapse wdCollapseStart
oRng.Select

... Learn to love simplicity :)

  Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1
  Selection.MoveUp Unit:=wdParagraph, Count:=1

That is, move one pos to the right and then at start of the para.

It works even if the cursor is at the end of the para
