BookmarkID problem

[Smallweed]

When I run the following I get a "requested member of the collection does not
exist" error:

If Selection.BookmarkID <> 0 Then
MsgBox ActiveDocument.Bookmarks(Selection.BookmarkID).Name
End If

It's because the id of the bookmark enclosing my cursor happens to be 13 and
yet the ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Count is only 11.

How can this be??

Hi,

I have reproduced the behavior that you observed by adding a table of
contents (TOC) to a document, and I am seeing that the value of BookmarkID is
incremented by 1 for each heading that precedes the bookmark and is included
in the TOC. Do you have a TOC in your document?

You have posted the same message at least three times, please, ne patient,
somebody will eventually answer... Also, note that depending on the
interface you are using to post, it may take a little while for the message
to appear.

Thanks Jean-Guy: that's the solution I need.

Yeah apologies re multiple posts: I kept getting m/soft errors like "Service
Temporarily Unavailable please try again later" and "an error occurred while
sending your post and your post was not received" and didn't realise they
were lying...

I'll probably get the same when I click Post now!
