BookmarkID Property

Returns the number of the bookmark that encloses the beginning of the specified selection or range; returns 0 (zero) if there's no corresponding bookmark. The number corresponds to the position of the bookmark in the document— 1 for the first bookmark, 2 for the second one, and so on. Read-only Long.

Example

This example displays the number of the bookmark that encloses the beginning of the selection.

MsgBox "Bookmark " & Selection.BookmarkID
		

This example adds a bookmark named "temp" at the beginning of the document if there's not already a bookmark set for that location.

Set myRange = ActiveDocument.Content
myRange.Collapse Direction:=wdCollapseStart
If myRange.BookmarkID = 0 Then
    ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add Name:="temp", Range:=myRange
End If
