How to delete text between two bookmarks

[Jason]

Hi, I am a relatively experienced Excel VBA user, but very new to Word VBA.

How can I delete all text between two bookmarks, leaving the bookmarks
intact? The first bookmark is at the end of a paragraph (eoFirstPara), and
the second bookmark is at the beginning of a different paragraph, toward the
end of the document (boLastPara).

TIA for any insight.

Jason,

Not tested, but something like:
Sub Scratchmacro()
Dim oRng As Word.Range
Set oRng = ActiveDocument.Content
oRng.Start = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("Name1").Range.End
oRng.End = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("Name2").Range.Start
oRng.Delete
End Sub

Simpler still --

With ActiveDocument
.Range(.Bookmarks("Name1").Range.End,
..Bookmarks("Name2").Range.Start).Delete
End With

Thanks very much to both of you.

I have a couple more issues if you wouldn't mind addressing them in this
thread:

1. I have a couple of form fields that self-populate based on entries into
other form fields (one is a form field drop-down list and the other is a
fill-in). These are populated before runnign some procedures (code). Once
these procedures are run, the form fields revert back to their "default"
text. Is there a way to keep them from reverting back (i.e. holding their
values)?

2. After protecting the document, a pop-up box (looks similar to a
multi-line input box) appears, but it does not have any kind of description
of its purpose. What is causing this box, and how do I get rid of it? To see
what the box looks like, here is a link to the image:

Thanks again!

Ok, I think I found the answers to both of my questions (they appear to be
related) by using the

noreset:=True

found at http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/TurnFmFlfResetOff.htm

Thanks again.

Have a look at the Protect statement in the code: it should include the
NoReset argument.

It's an InputBox. Somewhere in your code is an InputBox statement. You need
to ask the programmer why they put it there.

Well, I am the programmer, and there is no InputBox statement in my code.
However, I believe what was triggering it is I had the "calculate on exit"
box checked on a couple of the form fields. After I unchecked them, no more
input box.

Thanks again.
