Setting variable to bookmark contents

[David7284]

Hi,

I've got a user form with a bookmark field called fullname. Later in the
document, I want to auto-display only the first name from the fullname
field (the contents form position 1 of fullname to the first space -the
space that separates the first and last names).

I've searched and tried seemingly everyting logical (obviously not
everything ), unfortunately, I can't seem to even store the entire
contents of "fullname" to the variable, much less extract a substring (mid
?) and display the results later in the doc.

Can someone please help point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
David

Check out the free back issues at www.editorium.co,

Wealth of stuff involving this, and Jack has several cheap tools to do
what you need. Regardless, the bookmark has a range, The range has
text. The text can be read into a string and you can use Instr and
InstrRev to find spaces etc.
