I am automating a Word document from MS Access. I have set a bookmark named
"ZipCode" defined as "00000-0000" in the Word Document.

From Access I replace the value of "ZipCode" with a database value from
Access.

When I do this the "ZipCode" bookmark is defined as a point at the end of
actual zip code. I need "ZipCode" to remain defined as the actual zipcode in
order for the postnet Barcode to work. Barcode is defined as {BARCODE
ZipCode \b\u }

Is there a way to keep ZipCode from redefining?

Hi Al,

You need to do a little reading up on Placeholder and Enclosing bookmarks.
Have a look at the article "Working with Bookmarks in VBA" at
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/macrosvba/WorkWithBookmarks.htm

HTH,
Dave
