Overtyping with bookmarks

W

I have a word template with bookmarks that I am inserting data into using VB. The problem is that the text following the bookmark on the line gets pushed over. Is there any way to have a bookmark insert text in overtype mode? I tried setting overtype mode for the application object
objWordApp.Options.Overtype = Tru
but that didn't work. I know I can set up tables to get around this, but overtyping would be much easier if it is possible.

Much better would be to enclose the text to be eliminated in the bookmark.
Select the bookmark and delete the text. Insert the new text in a recreated
bookmark. This method is described in the vba FAQ on the MVP FAQ site.
