code to clear text after a bookmark

[Colin Telfer]

can anybody help me with some code for MS word 2003. I want to clear the
text / characters/ numbers after a bookmark leaving the bookmark intact.

.Bookmarks("Fax_no").Select
Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=15, Extend:=wdExtend
Selection.Delete Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1

this is the code i have sussed out so far, the only thing is it deletes the
line and the bookmark which i don't wish to do.

Can anybody help?

Also can anybody recommend a book for word VBA as i find the MS online help
manual useless?

Cheers
Colin

Sub Scratchmacro()
Dim oRng As Word.Range
Set oRng = ActiveDocument.Range
oRng.Start = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("Fax_num").Range.End
oRng.Delete
End Sub

See the macros section at:

I have tried this cods and it deletes the bookmark moving all the other text
up the page which i don't want to do.
i owuld have thought there would be a clear command to simply clear text.

Any further help welcome

Regards

Colin
