Many thanks.

To hide:

ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("MyBookmarkName").Range.Font.Hidden = True

To show it, use the same line with False on the right of the equal
sign.

Thank you so much. And just one more question: how would I change the text
within the bookmark?

 

[Jay Freedman]

ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("MyBookmarkName").Range.Text = "some text"

Jay Freedman was telling us:
Jay Freedman nous racontait que :

ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("MyBookmarkName").Range.Text = "some text"

DeeJay, keep in mind that this will delete the bookmark.

If you need it for further processing, use something like this to restore
the bookmark after changing its content:

'_______________________________________
Const strBookMark As String = "MyBookmarkName"

Dim rgeBookMark As Range

Set rgeBookMark = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks(strBookMark).Range

rgeBookMark.Text = "Some New Text"

ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add strBookMark, rgeBookMark
'_______________________________________

Can you clarify exactly what you want to do?

You need to be able to define ranges where the bookmarks will be added. How
will you define those ranges?
