Paste to a word bookmark


Recommended Posts

Hi All

Trying to populate a word template with data from another application, I have got my content in the paste buffer. I have managed to find some text and then paste with the following

Local $oRangeFound
$oRangeFound = _Word_DocFind($oDoc, "SomeSearchString")
 

If @error Then Exit MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Word UDF: _Word_DocFind Example", _
        "Error locating the specified text in the document." & @CRLF & "@error = " & @error & ", @extended = " & @extended)
$oRangeFound.paste

This works fine but I really wanted to do it with a bookmark, so I could put a number of bookmarks in the document template and repeat the process. Overwriting the bookmarks is ok

But I can seem to get the paste to work for the bookmark.

any advice would be much-appreciated

cheers

Grant

Hi GrantTF,

Are you using an english translator? Your post is hard to understand.

If yes, then maybe consider posting in your native language.

Regards.

There is a bookmarks collection available in Words objct model.
You could try to select a bookmark and replace it with your text.

I thought I had written it in English, must be my bad grammar -will try and rephrase

I have a word document template that I would like to populate with data from another application, I have the data from the other application in my clipboard and I want to paste it at a bookmark. My code below, works by searching for a phrase  and pasting, but I can't get it to work for a bookmark

Local $sDocument = @ScriptDir & "\Template.docx"
Local $oDoc = _Word_DocOpen($oWord, $sDocument, Default, Default, True)

; move there
Local $oRangeFound
$oRangeFound = _Word_DocFind($oDoc, "stringToReplace")

If @error Then Exit MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Word UDF: _Word_DocFind Example", _
        "Error locating the specified text in the document." & @CRLF & "@error = " & @error & ", @extended = " & @extended)
$oRangeFound.paste

MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Word UDF: _Word_DocFind Example", _
        "string 'stringToReplace' replaced with clibboard.")

 

 

So how do I select a bookmark and paste the clipboard, instead of doing the find

Hopefully, that's easier to understand

As I described above. Loop through the bookmarks collection, select the one you need and then paste the data.
