How to assign a value to a bookmark for the second time ?

[Oscar]

Is it possible to assign the value of a bookmark more than one time?

I've seen that Word deletes the bookmark when it is assigned a value by

objword.ActiveDocument.Bookmarks(NameOfBookmark).Select
objword.Selection.Text = NewValue

That's why I can't use this for the second time because the document doesn't
have the bookmarks anymore.

Hi Oscar,

You need to recreate the bookmark. Take a look at this article

There's nothing to stop you re-adding the bookmark --

objword.ActiveDocument.Bookmarks(NameOfBookmark).Select
objword.Selection.Text = NewValue
objword.ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add Name:=NameOfBookMark,
Range:=objword.Selection

Hi Oscar,

See the article “Inserting text at a bookmark without deleting the bookmark”
at:

http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/MacrosVBA/InsertingTextAtBookmark.htm

Instead of using bookmarks, you can use { DOCVARIABLE "varname" } fields and
then use

ActiveDocument.Variables("varname").Value = NewValue
ActiveDocument.Fields.Update

as many times as you wish.

Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the
benefit of others who may be interested. Unsolicited questions forwarded
directly to me will only be answered on a paid consulting basis.

Hope this helps
