Examples

The following code example adds a Bookmark control with text to the first paragraph and then moves the start position of the bookmark.

This example is for a document-level customization.

Private Sub BookmarkMoveStart()

    Me.Paragraphs(1).Range.InsertParagraphBefore()
    Me.Paragraphs(1).Range.Text = "This is sample text."
    Dim Bookmark1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Bookmark = _
        Me.Controls.AddBookmark(Me.Paragraphs(1).Range.Words(3), _
        "Bookmark1")

    MessageBox.Show("First word of bookmark prior to calling MoveStart: " _
        & Bookmark1.Words.First.Text)

    Bookmark1.MoveStart(Word.WdUnits.wdCharacter, 4)

    MessageBox.Show("First word of bookmark prior to calling MoveStart: " _
        & Bookmark1.Words.First.Text)
End Sub

private void BookmarkMoveStart()
{
    this.Paragraphs[1].Range.InsertParagraphBefore();
    this.Paragraphs[1].Range.Text = "This is sample text.";
    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Bookmark bookmark1 =
        this.Controls.AddBookmark(this.Paragraphs[1].Range.Words[3],
        "bookmark1");

    object Unit = Word.WdUnits.wdCharacter;
