Form Initialization

[Patrick C. Simonds]

I want to populate my UserForm with the contents of a document. I would like
to have something like what is below. Any ideas?

TextBox1.Text = Bookmark "LastName"

TextBox1.Text = Bookmark "LastName"

TextBox1.Text = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("LastName").Range.Text

Also, it's worthwhile either to use the construction

If ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Exists("LastName") Then
TextBox1.Text = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("LastName").Range.Text
End If

or to use the line

On Error Resume Next

or something similar to trap the error if the bookmark doesn't exist.

This returns a:

Runtime Error 424
object required

What specific line is highlighted when that error occurs? Is this code in
the UserForm_Initialize() procedure? Is the control mentioned in the code
(TextBox1) actually in the userform, with that exact name?
