Object is empty (I'm new to macros!)

[Josh Craig]

I get run-time error 4605 'this method or property is not available because
the object is empty' in between these two lines of code:

Selection.Fields.Unlink
(error occurs here)

Selection.ConvertToTable Separator:=wdSeparateByParagraphs,
NumColumns:=1, _
NumRows:=17, AutoFitBehavior:=wdAutoFitFixed

How do I make the selection for 'convert to table' the same as the selection
whose fields I just unlinked?

I have no idea what's going on before this point, or what you're trying to
accomplish, but I get no error with your code if I select the field first by
selecting its bookmark (name):

ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("Text1").Select

Replace "Text1" with the actual name. Put this above your code.

Assuming that the selection isn't empty, the code should work. Is there
any code between the lines you posted (that could possibly affect the
selection)?
