finding Bookmarks in Header (from .NET)

[Joe Dillon]

I can access a Bookmark from my c# .net project (when the bookmark is in the main part of the word document) without a problem

BUT how can I access a Bookmark in the Header? This is the code I have tried (does not work)

object what = (int) Word.WdGoToItem.wdGoToBookmark

WordApp.ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = mso.Word.WdSeekView.wdSeekCurrentPageHeader
WordApp.Selection.GoTo(ref what, ref missing, ref missing, ref "MyBookMarkName" )
WordApp.Selection.TypeText( "I want to insert this value" )

The error I get is "Word cannot find the requested bookmark.

Help will be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Jo

Better to set the .Text property of the .Range of the bookmark rather than
selecting the bookmark

Many thanks Doug

The code that works is (C#)
foreach ( mso.Word.Bookmark bmk in WordApp.ActiveDocument.Bookmarks

if ( bmk.Name == (string) myBookMarkName

bmk.Range.Text = bookmarkValue



[ where:
mso = Microsoft.Office.Intero
WordApp = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.ApplicationClass
