Wierd, isn't it? I think this is one of those cases where you have to use the Selection.

[VBA]Sub Thanks2TonyJollansAndGerry()
Selection.GoTo(wdGoToPage, wdGoToAbsolute, 3).Bookmarks("\Page").Range.Delete
End Sub[/VBA]

What documentation there is seems to be all about the Selection but doesn't specifically say it doesn't work with non-selected Ranges. As the built-in bookmarks are not in any collection, and dynamic by their nature, there must be special case code dealing with them - apparently not special enough.
