Editing bookmarks in footer on last page only
Hi,
I'm developing a template in Word 2003 that requires a footer containing bookmarks on the last page only. I have created an expression as follows in the footer:- {if {page}={numpages} "text goes here" bookmark addressline1 bookmark addressline2 bookmark addressline3} I'm adding the bookmarks and text in the above formula which is working fine when the document is created, but when I need to change the values in the bookmarks in the footer, (using VBA called from a button on the toolbar), I am not able to get at and update the original bookmarks as it seems to have merged them all together somehow. Is it possible to do what I want with Word 2003? Thanks for your help. Jan |

Doesn't ALT+F9 display your field again so you can modify the bookmarks?

Editing bookmarks in footer on last page only
Hi Dawn,
Sorry I should have explained a bit better. The document I have created is a template, when I create docs based on this template the footer formula works fine. However, when I try to edit the document created from the template, using a VBA macro called from a button on the toolbar, the footer bookmarks have merged together and I can't seem to access them separately anymore. If I do an Alt F9 I can see them as separate bookmarks, but the values held in them have merged together somehow. Each bookmark now contains all of the values from each of the originals, and updating one of them updates all. Very strange!

Yes, that is very strange indeed. Bookmarks generally hold from template to
document. I'd be curious what else the VBA might be doing that could have created the scenario that you are describing. -- Dawn Crosier Microsoft MVP "Education Lasts a Lifetime" This message was posted to a newsgroup, Please post replies and questions to the group so that others can learn as well.

Editing bookmarks in footer on last page only
Hi Dawn,
I've found out what was going wrong. I've recently inherited template development and throughout all of the templates we use each time a bookmark is updated, through a VBA macro, it is deleted and re-inserted with the new text. This appears to work elsewhere, albeit it seems like a bit of a peculiar solution, but in the footer in a field code it gets a bit confused. If I just amend the bookmark without deleting it then it all works fine. Thanks for taking the time to look at this. Jan "Dawn Crosier, MVP" wrote: Yes, that is very strange indeed.
