creating bookmarks

[Qreg]

Hello,

I'm new to writing macros under MS word, therefore my problem can be
trivial to You.

I've created a macro that inserts and formats a table and then inserts a
{SEQ Eq} counter then I want to create a bookmark for this counter. The
name for it I want to get from UserForm TextBox, I've written all this but
somehow I get an error that used Bookmark name is wrong.

Thanks in advance

Wojtek

Hi Wojtek,

If your UserForm TextBox text has spaces in it, then this might be causing
the problem. For example, "My Textbox Text" cannot be the name of a
bookmark, but "MyTextboxText" can. If this is the case, then you can use the
Replace function to remove the spaces.

HTH,
Dave

Dave,

I've used only one world name, and the problem is that I somehow cannot
pass the name entered in UserForm (texbox) to the code below:

With ActiveDocument.Bookmarks
.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Name:=Variable_name
.DefaultSorting = wdSortByName
.ShowHidden = False
End With

The Variable_name is declared as:

Dim Variable_name As String

And is read from the userform using:

Variable_name = TextBox1.Text

Hope this additional info will allow You to find what I'm doing wrong.

Hi Qreg,

Does the text typed into TextBox1 ever contain any spaces? If so, you will
get an error because bookmark names cannot contain spaces.

Ok I got it working. It was my stupid mistake, I had a private variable in
the other function, so it didn't pass anything to the main one.
