Thanks Jezebel.

However, that creates an Hyperlink.

What I need is to create a Ref to a bookmark which is in another document.

If you want document A to repeat the contents of a bookmark that's in
document B, then the field you want is an IncludeText field containing
the file path\name of document B and the bookmark name.

One more question...

How can I introduce a defined path in the instruction IncludeText, with a
VBA code?

I've made this code, but it doesn't work:

Dim Message, Title, MyValue
Message = "Whats report number?" ' Set prompt.
Title = "Reports" ' Set title.

MyValue = InputBox(Message, Title)
NameRep = MyValue & ".doc"

PathRel = "Z:\Word\2006\Reports" & NameRep

Selection.Fields.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Type:=wdFieldEmpty, Text:= _
"INCLUDETEXT PathRel [Mybookmark] " _


Can you help me with this, please?

There are two things you need to fix:

- When you assign the value to PathRel, you need a backslash to separate the
path from the file name.

- For use in an IncludeText field, each backslash in the name must be
doubled.

So the line you need is

PathRel = "Z:\\Word\\2006\\Reports\\" & NameRep

I've already tried that, but it doesn't worked.

I've run the macro with the path directly in the instructiont:

"INCLUDETEXT "Z:\\Word\\2006\\Reports\\'Filename.doc' " [Mybookmark] "

and it worked fine.

But when I replace the path with the assigned value PathRel, it returns
"Error! Not a Valid Filename".

Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong, please?

Sorry, I missed that the last time. The way you wrote the statement,
the word PathRel is a literal, a part of the string, when what you
want is the variable name. The statement that inserts the field should
be

Selection.Fields.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Type:=wdFieldEmpty, _
Text:="INCLUDETEXT " & PathRel & "[Mybookmark] "

The & symbols (ampersands) are connectors to put together the pieces
of the string. The first piece is the word INCLUDETEXT and its space;
the second piece is the variable PathRel, which is replaced by the
value you previously assigned to it; and the third piece is the name
of the bookmark.
