Writing formatted text at a bookmark in Word

[chakotha]

I been going over a few of the posts on opening Word documents and writing to them at a Bookmark through VB.NET and I have that working OK. What I would like to do is use bold and underlining formatting (and more no doubt)

At the top of the class I have

Private WordApp As New Word.Application

and the main code is:

Dim fileName As Object = "C:\Proposal.doc"
        Dim [readOnly] As Object = False
        Dim isVisible As Object = True

        Dim missing As Object = System.Reflection.Missing.Value

        Dim WordDoc As New Word.Document

        WordApp.Visible = True
        WordDoc = WordApp.Documents.Open(fileName, missing,
[readOnly], missing, missing, missing, missing, missing, missing,
 missing, missing, isVisible)

        WordApp.Activate()

        WordDoc.Bookmarks.Item("MyBookmark").Range.Text = "I am a line of text"

If I were to start typing at the start of the document the following works:

WordApp.Selection.Font.Bold = True
        WordApp.Selection.TypeText("Bold Text")
        WordApp.Selection.Font.Bold = False

but I can't this working at the bookmark.

Help much appreciated

This worked for me:

        Dim wdApp As New Word.Application
        Dim wdDoc As Word.Document = wdApp.Documents.Open("C:\Test.doc")
        wdDoc.Bookmarks.Item("Test").Select()
        wdApp.Selection.Font.Bold = True
        wdApp.Selection.Text = "Testtext"
        wdApp.Visible = True

/Nisse

Excellent thanks!

Would you know how fix this?

If I go

wdApp.Selection.Text = "Testtext"
wdApp.Selection.Text = "Testing 1 2 3"

The second line over-writes the first. What I want to do is put a line break between the two lines. I am not sure how to do this either. I tried

wdApp.Selection.Text = "Testtext"
wdApp.Selection.TypeParagraph()
wdApp.Selection.Text = "Testing 1 2 3"

but the second line just over-wrote the first. I am trying to do something like this:

Heading

Small heading

yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda

Small heading

yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda

Well you could try to just build the entire string and have a go at it for a single row, like the following:

wdApp.Selection.Text = "Text1" & ControlChars.CrLf & "Text2" & ControlChars.CrLf & "Text3" & ControlChars.CrLf &"Text4"

Thanks ControlChars.CrLf and other formatting all into 1 string is working! I'll proceed with that

Do you know how I can switch to bold within that string?

WordApp.Selection.Text = "Text1" & WordApp.Selection.Font.Bold = True & "Text2"

writes 'False' to the doc.
