I took the following two lines of code from the site http://blogs.infoextract.in/bookmark-object-word-vba/ 

 ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("InfoExtractBookmark").Range.BookmarkID

 ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("InfoExtractBookmark").Select

When I run the first line of code in VBA Editor in Word, it is reporting an error. The second line does not report any error when I ran it alone. Even though bookmarking is there in the document, it does not get selected.

Could anyone explain please?

    When I run the first line of code in VBA Editor in Word, it is reporting an error. BookmarkID is a property which must be assigned to something (variable of proper type, for example). You cannot call it as a method, or you must specifyCall keyword (in that case the code is executed, but the returned value will be lost).

  • @Akina Based on your comment, I assigned it to a integer variable and got the total number of bookmarks which in the present case was just 1 only.
