Hi,

Answered my own Question - I select the Field, then get the Current
Selection Range.

I do not understand the reference to Fields, and Bookmarks.

Fields (AUTHOR, NUMPAGES, SUBJECT, SECTIONPAGES etc.) do not have Bookmarks.

FORMFields do have Bookmarks.

if you are talking about formfields, then you do not need to select it.

MsgBox ActiveDocument.FormFields("Text2").Range.Start & _
" " & ActiveDocument.FormFields("Text2").Range.End

Or, if you are commonly dealing with a specific formfield, then make an
object of it:

Dim oFF As FormField
Set oFF = ActiveDocument.FormFields("Text2")

MsgBox oFF.Range.Start & " " & oFF.Range.End
