If you don't want the text inserted at the bookmarks then where do you want it inserted?

If you are considering using content controls then why are you even bothering with bookmarks or REF fields for that matter. That is like accelerating your Ferrari with a horse whip.

Hi - thanks for the reply. The problem is this is an existing long document created and updated over many years - I didn't just start with the Bookmark/REF option. I am trying to get the document (and those who use it) somewhat into this century. At the time the document was created, there were only a few ASK fields, so it was easy to tab through them - only client names and dates, etc., were needed, so the Bookmark/ASK/REF worked like a charm. But, as the documents were made more complex and we started adding options, the number of fields has grown tremendously, and a user form would be easier for the us to work through than the multiple ASK dialog boxes. I am trying to not recreate the documents and remove the bookmarks and fields, if possible, assuming there would be a way to work with them rather than remove them (but maybe I am wrong and it would take more time to update rather than to work from scratch). As indicated before, the repeated text is inserted at multiple REF locations throughout the document, and the bookmark text/answers to the ASK fields are also used in nested IF fields to insert conditional text (some of them ask for a simple Y or N and then conditional text is inserted according to the responses). The text is never inserted at the location of the bookmark. The bookmarks just needed to be created for the ASK/IF fields to operate properly. Alternatively, I would like code to get all of the ASK fields from the document onto one user form if I cannot create a user form to work with the bookmarks properly. There are approximately 80 ASK boxes in each document to work through currently and multiple users who each like certain default options (these defaults have been incorporated into some ASK fields).
