We are using a tool that uses bookmarks as placeholders. To use the bookmarks tool in Word, you have to place the cursor in the correct location and then open the bookmarks dialog box and type in the name and press the add button. If you forget to correctly place the cursor, there is no way to move the bookmark.

I am working on a macro to allow users to select the name of the bookmark from a dropdown menu and then want to prompt them to click where to place the bookmark. I envision a button labeled "Select Insertion Point" and when pressed, closes the dialog box and waits for the user to click with the mouse button and then, with the cursor at the new location, the dialog reopens for the user to select the bookmark and press the Insert button. With such a tool, it would take minutes to make a new template.

Does anyone have an example macro that will prompt a user to click in a document and will return the point as a range?

I am also open to alternative ideas...
