I created a bookmark for a field code and I am currently sending one symbol
to that bookmark, {SYMBOL \u 1092}. How can I modify {SYMBOL \u 1092} to add a second symbol 1093? |

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?

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. "Peter T.

I don't understand what you're trying to do, but why can't you simply
type the four Burmese letters? On Dec 30, 1:23*pm, JoeV wrote: The "\u" is for unicode, the 1092 and 1093 are just an example.

information to the bookmark? See the article "Working with Bookmarks in VBA” at: http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Macros...hBookmarks.htm -- Hope this helps.

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. On Dec 31, 7:06*am, JoeV wrote: Peter and Doug thanks for your help but can anybody else answer my question.

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. "Peter T.

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. -- Suzanne S.

Suzanne, I tried the following {SYMBOL 1053,1050,1055,1056 \u} then replaced
the comma's with semicolon and still it sends only the first symbol to the document. "Suzanne S.
