Hello,

I hope you all are well.

I want to write a macro to delete two lines above a bookmark in a word document. So far so good, but the bookmark itself should not be deleted.

I have come up with the following code:

VBA Code:
Sub DeletetwoLinesAboveBookmark1()

    Dim r As Word.Range
    Set r = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("Bookmark1").Range
    r.MoveStart wdSentence, -2
    r.Delete

End Sub


But this macro also deletes the bookmark.

Do you have an idea how to solve this problem?

Best regards and a have nice day,

Sarah
 

Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
Try:
VBA Code:
Sub DeletetwoLinesAboveBookmark1()
Dim r As Word.Range
Set r = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("Bookmark1").Range
r.Collapse wdCollapseStart
r.MoveStart wdSentence, -2
r.Delete
End Sub
