delete text within a range

[red6000]

Hi,

If I have 2 bookmarks in a document named 'a' and 'b' what code would I need
to delete everything in between these 2 bookmarks?

Thanks for your help.

Not quite.

With ActiveDocument
.Range(.Bookmarks("A").Range.End, .Bookmarks("B").Range.Start).Delete
End With

or if you want to delete from the text including the bookmarks

With ActiveDocument
.Range(.Bookmarks("A").Range.Start, .Bookmarks("B").Range.End).Delete
End With

Hi Jonathan,

sure you have a reason for using .Bookmarks("A").range.start
instead of .Bookmarks("A").start.

But what could that be?

I tried both ways and it seems either one works.

Ah. I hadn't noticed that bookmarks have a Start and End property. I had
always worked with the range property. I live & learn!
