Code to locate bookmark in footer

[Ruth]

I have inserted a field in the footer of a document and
assigned a bookmark to it in order to remove the field. I
am having a problem writing the code to find the bookmark
called "documentpath" in the footer and delete it. Can
someone help me out? Thanks!

Hi, Ruth,

Doesn't matter that it's in the footer if you've assigned
a bookmark to it. If the field is contained within the
bookmark (i.e., you had the field selected when you
created the bookmark) -- it's just one line of code to
delete the bookmark and its contents, wherever that
bookmark appears in the document.

ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("documentpath").Range.Delete

Hope that helps.

Hi Stephanie,
Thank you so much, I was missing the Range property. Works
great!
