Replacing text held in all bookmarks

THH4929 · #1 05-26-2018, 01:56 AM

Hello all,

I'm new to the whole VBA in word, and am struggling to resolve this issue!!!

What I am trying to achieve is to have a doc with various bookmarks, when a script is run, vba systematically goes through all bookmarks, requests user input via an inputbox, and then replaces the text with the user determined text.

This is what I have so far;

Code:

Sub UpdateBookmarks()

Dim bmInput As String

For Each bm In ActiveDocument.Bookmarks
    bmInput = InputBox("Please enter " & bm.Name)
    UpdateBM ActiveDocument, bm.Name, bmInput
Next

End Sub

Sub UpdateBM(ByRef bmDoc As Document, bmName As String, bmContent As String)
Dim bmRng As Word.Range
    Set bmRng = bmDoc.Bookmarks(bmName).Range
    bmRng.Text = bmContent
End Sub

However, when I run the code, it inserts the user input at the beginning of the text already present in the bookmark, rather than replacing it.

Please can anyone help??

Many thanks all
