Would like to only underline the data in the bookmark not the entire length
of the bookmark.

currently we do: .bookmark(" ... ").range.font.underline=true

then we add text to that bookmark with:
Dim Bmrange As Range
Set Bmrange = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks(strBkmk).Range
Bmrange.Text = strRep
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add strBkmk, Bmrange

where strBkmk is the name of the bookmark
strRep is the text to be placed in the bookmark

wonder if something can be done with the first line to limit the range to
the length of strRep? TIA

Hi Ted,

Maybe I'm just tired, but I don't understand your question/problem. The code
you show me will replace any existing content in the bookmark, insert strRep
at the bookmark position, then recreate the bookmark around strRep. If you
then apply the underlining to Bmrange, it should only underline strRep.

What am I missing? Can you describe to us how the result you're getting
doesn't do that?
