Identify BookMark Location

macropod · #2 12-13-2014, 02:20 PM

Bookmarks span ranges, which means you can retrieve their start & end points. For example:

Code:

Sub Demo()
With ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("Bookmarkname")
  MsgBox .Range.Start & vbTab & .Range.End
End With
End Sub

However, in a document subject to editing (as the risk of inadvertent deletion or even just updating the bookmarked content as per the 'UpdateBM' code in your other thread (https://www.msofficeforums.com/word-...out-loops.html) evidences), those start & end points are liable to change with every keystroke. Consequently, retrieving their locations is only valid for that instant.
