This is not really a VBA question, but it relates to a problem I have discovered in a VBA application.

I have recently updated to Word2003 and believe that it is behaving differently from Word2000. Assume some text has been bookmarked and Display Of Bookmarks option is turned on. So we might see:

[some bookmarked text.]

If I insert the cursor before the "end of bookmark" indicator and add something new, I would expect:

[some bookmarked text. SOME NEXT TEXT]

but what I get is:

[some bookmarked text.] SOME NEXT TEXT

Is this normal? It's a pain because if I add text to the end of a bookmarked section I have to rebookmark the resultant text (easy to do, but you have to remember to do it)

I can understand that it may not be what you want, but I don't think it's a change of behaviour; Word 2000 works the same way.

I can understand that it may not be what you want, but I don't think it's a change of behaviour; Word 2000 works the same way.and it gets stranger.:banghead: I accepted the fact that the added text would be after the end of the bookmark's range and all was well (and frustrating) for a few days. Then Word2003 decided to change its behavior and reverted to the way (I believe) Word2K worked, i.e., added text is included in the bookmark's range. I went back to earlier docs and the current behavior is persistent. So now I wonder if there is some toggle inside Word that controls this phenomena ???
