Default Word Field Code Symbol

The Help topic for the SYMBOL field says that it "Inserts a single character
or a string of characters in the ANSI character set." Although no examples
are given, I would suggest that you try specifying more than one, the
numbers separated by a comma (or semicolon if a comma is used as the decimal
point), and see what happens.

I have a Russian document that has generic information. I have program that
I
created that will write to the Russian document with specific information
in
Russian for each instrument that we are testing and the information needs
to
go in its each specific location within the document. The software package
that I am using does not support the entire unicode format. It so happens
the
Russian characters that I need are out of the range of my software
package,
there 16 bit instead of 8 bit. The bookmark is to define the specific
location for each piece of information and the field code is to send the
decimal value of each Russian letter.

If you could explain why you're "sending symbols to a bookmark," maybe
someone could come up with a way to do what you want to do.

Peter and Doug thanks for your help but can anybody else answer my

What command it being used by your external program to "send" the
information to the bookmark?

See the article "Working with Bookmarks in VBA€ at:

The "\u" is for unicode, the 1092 and 1093 are just an example. My
symbols
would be 1053, 1050, 1055 and 1056 all to be used if possible in
one
bookmark. The bookmark is used when my external program writes data
to the
document.

Just asking: does " \u " introduce a Unicode coding? 1092 and 1093
are
part of the Myanmar (Burmese) range and are "reserved" and should
not
be used for anything else. What is the purpose of your bookmark?

to add
a second symbol 1093?
