How to check ActiveDocument

[Thejan Mendis]

Hi,

I have created a macro which will insert some text to the bookmaks through
my User form that I created in a templete (.dot).

My problem is every time I run the templete, it will create new document and
If I might need to use anather word document and come back to my main user
form it gave me ERROR 5941.

HOW DO I TELL MY MACRO THAT IT SHOULD ONLY REFER THE DOCUMENT THAT CONTAIN
THE BOOKMARKS

Hi Thejan,

Basically, it's best to set an object variable that refers to one, specific
document. If you had a macro that created a Word document, that you then
wanted to manipulate, you could:
Dim doc as Word.Document
Set doc = Documents.Add "Template path and name, here"
doc.Bookmarks("name").Range.Text = "etc."

Setting the object variable (doc) can be done in various ways, depending on
the exact situation. Unfortunately, I don't understand enough about how your
template is supposed to work to tell you "exactly" what you need to do...
