The following code Inserts a blank row after a specific term

Sub insertRow()
Do
If InStr(1, Selection.Value, "Research director:") > 0 Then
Selection.Offset(1, 0).Select
Selection.EntireRow.Insert
End If
Selection.Offset(1, 0).Select
Loop While Selection.Value<> ""
End Sub

Could someone help me on how to modify the code to add a blank row BEFORE THE specific term - Thank you

Square and cube roots
The =SQRT(25) is a square root. For a cube root, use =125^(1/3). For a fourth root, use =625^(1/4).
Try:
Code:
Sub insertRow()
    Do
        If InStr(1, Selection.Value, "Research director:") > 0 Then
            Selection.EntireRow.Insert
            Selection.Offset(1, 0).Select
        End If
        Selection.Offset(1, 0).Select
    Loop While Selection.Value <> ""
End Sub
