Move cursor in Word 2003

[Sander]

Hello everybody,

I hope someone can help me in the right direction with vba in word 2003. I
want to write a function to replace a string in a document or template with a
value from a database. For example; replace <<name>> in a document with field
[customer_name] from a database. After doing that, I want to go a specific
point in the document, and that is my problem! How can I move the cursor to a
given location in a doc or dot file? I want to name this location <<loc>> for
example and have the code replace this holder and go there.

Thanks for your help!

Use a bookmark and then have your code select the .Range of the bookmark

ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("movehere").Range.Select
