Hi,

Thanks Yuri. I will give that a try. But maybe I am even thinking of this wrong - the intent was to move to a bookmark and then insert some text (or a table) after the bookmark. Should I instead just figure out the range for the bookmark and use the range's .InsertAfter() method to insert the text? Is one better than the other (or faster?).

Thanks,
Albert

>>I am working away on a Word wrapper class for Word automation. I am having trouble with a wrapper function that tests and moves the insertion point to a bookmark (title GoToBookmark). It is failing on the actual Word command to .GoTo() in a range. I have tried changing the parameter order and have it in the order that the help file says but it fails saying "Bookmark not found". If I check loDocRange.Bookmarks.Count below, it returns 4 (the correct number). Any ideas?
