Select textbox

[Lasse]

Hi

I have made a macro that creates a textbox in Word 2003. I need to do two
things with the textbox. First I need to select it and then I need to create
a bookmark in it.

Can any one help me?

Show us the bit of code where you create the textbox. Then it will be easy
to show you how to add the extra items immediately after

Given that text boxes are not in the document text layer, it is difficult to
see how useful it would be to create a bookmark in it. Bookmarks in text
boxes are effectively invisible to the document.

' Add text box
Set s = ActiveDocument.Shapes.AddTextbox(msoTextOrientationHorizontal, 0, 0,
200, 20)
' Position
With s
.TextFrame.TextRange.InsertAfter "Inserted"
.WrapFormat.Type = wdWrapTight
.RelativeHorizontalPosition = wdRelativeHorizontalPositionPage
.Left = InchesToPoints(2.75) ' in points
.RelativeVerticalPosition = wdRelativeVerticalPositionPage
.Top = InchesToPoints(2#) ' in points
End With

Thats the code i found by searching google

The reaseon is that I need to create a macro that inserts city and date into
a document at a given position. My idea was to create a textbox, insert a
bookmark in the textbox and then insert city and date at the bookmark. The
text needs to be aligned to the right side of the textbox.
