Reaching a bookmark inside a textbox ?

[rozwel]

I've got a Word document with a textbox inside. Each line in the textbox has
a bookmark and I have also defined a bookmark outside the textbox, in the
main document.

I'm working on a VBA Sub which has to fill in the lines of the textbox and
then go back to the beginning of the document.

My problem is that I can reach the bookmark in the main document thanks to
the Selection.GoTo Function, but the bookmarks inside the textbox are not
visible through the same mechanism.

Do I have to use another method instead, using fields or another method
instead or before GoTo in order to select the textbox first ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Rozwel,

Don't select or goto any bookmarks where you are only passing in text. Work
directly with the object model, instead:

doc.Bookmarks("Name").Range.Text = "The text"
