I have opened a word file from my VB program, but ........

I want to go straight to a given section ?

any ideas ?

You can bookmark it and then go to that bookmark.

Thanks Bruce I will give it a go tonight.

I will scream for help if I dont understand tomorrow

You don't need a bookmark.

Dim myRange As Word.Range
    Set myRange = Application.ActiveDocument.GoTo(What:=wdGoToSection, Which:=wdGoToFirst, Count:=2, Name:="")
    myRange.Select
    Set myRange = Nothing

Make sure that you either replace Application with your object variable for the application object, or replace Application.ActiveDocument with your object variable for the document object

Thanks Frans

I was playing with that yesterday, but could not get it to work.

I will get it tonight though !!!!

can I use a text name ie 'My Section Title' or must I use number

I don't think a section has a name.

I am probably not being clear

if I have a word document with ......................

ahh the penny drops, I am being a bit stupid here

I meant a heading (I was thinking of how they look in a TOC)

Sorry
