VB cant find bookmark in Header

[Sukhi]

Hello again
I have bookmark in Header, When I try to get to it in VB with the code --

objWord.ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekCurrentPageHeader
Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="HeaderPlanName"

I get the error 5678
"Word cannot find the reuested bookmark."

even though the above is generated by word it self (by recording macro).
Help please!!!
You guys have been great so far

Instead of this

Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="HeaderPlanName"

use this

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

The Selection.Goto method only works where the bookmark is in the same
storyrange as the selection.

Hi,

yes, as Jonathan said,

and in addition, there is hardly a situation,
in which you need to select the bookmark at all.
