Bookmark hell (at least for me)

[Debra Farnham]

Hi again all

I'm stumped once again

Win2k Word2K

How can I programatically obtain the name of the previous bookmark ?
Previous meaning the first one that exists above where my insertion point is
presently sitting.

Thanks in advance for any help.

MsgBox Selection.Document.Bookmarks(Selection.PreviousBookmarkID).Nam

Hi Andrew

I've run into a snag

I tested your code and it's returning the name of the bookmark that is
located two bookmarks above my insertion point. Any idea what would be
causing that?

Thanks

See if this returns the right name

Dim myrange As Range, j As Long
Set myrange = ActiveDocument.Range
myrange.End = Selection.Range.End
If Selection.Bookmarks.Count > 0 Then
j = myrange.Bookmarks.Count - 1
Else
j = myrange.Bookmarks.Count
End If
MsgBox myrange.Bookmarks(j).Name

Is the insertion point anywhere inside the nearest bookmark? I'll see if I can replicate the error

Wow, that PreviousBookmarkID property sure didn't work the way it was supposed to when I did some experimenting

Sorry to have steered you wrong (I've never used that property before), but it looks like Mr. Robbin's got you back on the right track.
