In Word 2003 using bookmarks - is there a method to reference a book mark
field partially? - Filling out a form where specific characters go into
specific positions
so I need to split a bookmark in two two seperate fields.

The .Range.Text property of a bookmark will return a String on which you can
use the Left(), Mid() and Right() functions, in conjunction with the Instr()
function to determine the point at which you want to break the string.

For example if you had a bookmark bmdata containing my name

With ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("bmdata").Range
MsgBox "My first name is " & Left(.Text, InStr(.Text, " ") - 1)
MsgBox :My last name is " & Mid(.Text, InStr(.Text, " ") + 1)
End With

would display message boxes containing "My first name is Doug" and "My last
name is Robbins"
