Default Move shape to bookmark location

Is is possible to move a shape to the location of an existing bookmark using the relative positions or something else?

Thanks for any assistance.

Shape or InlineShape? If a Shape, are you wanting to move the Shape, its anchor, or both?

They are shapes not inlineshapes.

I am needing to move the shape not just its anchor.

Since posting my question, I have been playing around and have found that I can use the relative position of a bookmark, allow for the margin and come up with a value that I can assign to the "Left" property of the shape. This seems to work pretty well but I would very much like to know if you know of a better way.

What will work best depends on what you want to achieve. Instead of referencing the margin for relative positioning, you might instead reference the bookmark range and use the start or end character for the relative positioning.
