I am sorry but I don't quite get what you are trying to do.
What is "bookmark update"?

Hi,

Please post a code sample of what is running slowly. In general you want to
use range instead of selection objects and from VB you want to declare your
variables as specifally as possble so there is as little, if any, late
bindings going on.

Dont declare "dim x" or "dim x as variant" but use "dim x as bookmark." Try
using "with" statements in your code.

Word VBA performance does not degrade gradually - it goes along fine and
then, when there are too many of something (too large a document, more then x
number of sections....) it gets really slow. Where that happens depends on a
combination of the document size, complexity and the version of Word and the
code.
