How do I define a bookmark?

[BobY]

I am attempting to "automate" portions of a Word form (e.g., user enters
start and stop times, next box exhibits elapsed), and have forgotten how to
define cells by bookmarking.

I am attempting to "automate" portions of a Word form (e.g., user
enters start and stop times, next box exhibits elapsed), and have
forgotten how to define cells by bookmarking.

To set a bookmark on the selected text,

ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add Name:="myBk", Range:=Selection

or just

ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add Name:="myBk"

(the range is optional; if you omit it, the Selection is assumed).

To set a bookmark to a range that isn't selected, you can use a Range
object:


Dim oRg As Range
Set oRg = ActiveDocument.Sections(3).Range
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add Name:="myBk", Range:=oRg
