Get Word Field Name?

[George Lee]

How can I get the name of a Word Field or Bookmark that was clicked or entered?

For example, I have many fields I want a date userform to appear on. When
the user selects a date, the field gets updated. Each field should use the
same function, and is independent of any other field. There should be no
reason each OnEnter macro should unique.

Selection.Bookmarks(1).Name will return the name of the field that was just
entered.

Caveat: This assumes there isn't another bookmark that includes the field.
If that's the case, you might have to iterate through the
Selection.Bookmarks collection looking for a name that matches your field
naming convention (which implies that you have such a convention and
followed it faithfully <g>).
