Bookmarks, recalling 'by location'

[Roy Lasris]

I want to create a listing of bookmarks in my document in the order in which
they appear.

"For Each oBookmark in ActiveDocument.bookmarks" returns only in alphabetical
order. this is true even if I preceed the instruction with:
With ActiveDocument.Bookmarks
.DefaultSorting = wdSortByLocation
End With

(the instruction accompanying 'default sorting' say this will be so.)

Is there a work around. 'SortbyLocation' is important to me.

I'm not sure but you could try cycling through them by index number to the
count rather than for each. I suspect it will give you the marks by location
front to back, but it may be by creation order or may end up replicating
alphabetical order, but worth a try.

Hi Roy,

I want to create a listing of bookmarks in my document in the order in which
they appear.

"For Each oBookmark in ActiveDocument.bookmarks" returns only in alphabetical
order.

Take a really close look at the VBA Help topic on bookmarks. Then try with
ActiveDocument.RANGE.Bookmarks
