[From Word 2002 manual]
crap. just wanted to create a template .Doc object with bookmarks to work with from COM automation, but once you get into these bookmark adventures, you never know how your gonna come out...
so i got this text that is part of a bigger bookmark, but i just want to clip the last word from the bookmark field, but i bloody can't! i have to delete the whole goddamn thing and reapply it...
Update: Just thought i'd clarify what bothers me:
1) you have to press "Insert" to "Delete" something. that is one of the pourest usablity designs i have ever seen..
2) Deleting a bookmarked item automatically deletes the bookmark. Word shoud tell you that you just deleted or about to delete a bookmark
3) It's hard to work with bookmarks which are invisible. word provides no means of working with an invisible bookmark to edit a template. you have to have text items that are bookmarks to easily design template documents. why is that so hard to accomplish? Last i saw, using Bookmarks in template documents was one of the most commonly used ways to create a word document with data inserted through automation. Yes, You could use Mail Merge, but this way is much simpler (or am i wrong..?)
