Thread: Insert newline/paragraph break after a bookmark

  1. #1

    Insert newline/paragraph break after a bookmark

    Hello,


    I have a following format of text in a document - the text in a bookmark icludes a paragraph break:

    HEADING STYLE 1¶
    [Text in a bookmark in Normal Style¶]
    HEADING STYLE 2¶


    What I'd like to do is to insert a paragraph break just after the bookmark as the text inside will be replaced:

    HEADING STYLE 1¶
    [Text in a bookmark in Normal Style¶]
    ¶ (Normal Style required)
    HEADING STYLE 2¶

    I have a code but the result is following:

    HEADING STYLE 1¶
    [Text in a bookmark in Normal Style¶]
    HEADING STYLE 2¶ (just the numbering)
    Remaing part of the HEADING STYLE 2 line in Normal Style¶



    Can someone help me with a solution? Thank you.

    Adapting this to your code above should work:

    Sub ScratchMacro()
    'A basic Word macro coded by Greg Maxey
    Dim oBM As Bookmark
    Dim oRng As Range
      Set oBM = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("bmTest")
      Set oRng = oBM.Range
      oRng.InsertAfter vbCr
      oRng.Paragraphs.Last.Style = "Normal"
    lbl_Exit:
      Exit Sub
    End Sub
