Ben,
It's word.basic syntax and work for both Word95 and 97.

oWord = createobject("word.basic")
* is same as
oWord = createobject("word.application")
with oWord.wordbasic

Word.basic is more reliable. VBA syntax is quite same though. I choose the word.basic as if it works too, if not then VB syntax. With word97, vb syntax got to be more like oop syntax. To find appropriate VB syntax record a dummy macro in Word, then cut and paste it to VFP. Minor modification generally needed such as inserting a "object" (oWord.object.editbookmark instead of oWord.bookmark).
To determine if a bookmark exist :

? oWord.existingbookmark(BookmarkName) (0 - .f. -1 = .t.)
