Moving bookmarks

[Rudi]

Hi,

Is there a way to move bookmarks in a document without having to delete them and recreate them in another position?

For example, in the image attached:
I want a space between the table and the bookmark...
- If I place my cursor in the green spot and enter, it adds a row to the table
- If I place my cursor in the pink spot, it adds a paragraph and my text moves down, but the bookmark stays in the same position below the table

How can I get a space between the table and the bookmark, without deleting it and recreating it next to the heading "Bookmark Location"

Using VBA is the only way I know:

Code: Select all

Sub MoveBookmark()
    With ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("Test")
        .End = .End + 1
        .Start = .Start + 1
    End With
End Sub

Replace Test with the name of your bookmark.

What will we do without VBA????

Thanks it works well.

Without VBA:
- If the table is at the top of the document, press Ctrl+Home.
- Otherwise, click at the end of the paragraph above the table.
- Press Enter to insert an empty paragraph mark above the table.
- Click in the table.
- Press Alt+Num 5 (i.e. 5 on the numeric keypad) to select the entire table.
- Press Ctrl+X to cut the table to the clipboard.
- Click in the empty paragraph that you created.
- Press Ctrl+V to paste the table.
- You have now effectively inserted an empty paragraph below the table.
- Click after the bookmark and press Delete.

You can reduce the number of keystrokes a little by typing Alt-Shift-UpArrow to move the table up one paragraph after you have selected it. This avoids the copy, click, paste combination.

Good point, I always forget about that keyboard shortcut!

So:

- If the table is at the top of the document, press Ctrl+Home.
- Otherwise, click at the end of the paragraph above the table.
- Press Enter to insert an empty paragraph mark above the table.
- Click in the table.
- Press Alt+Num 5 (i.e. 5 on the numeric keypad) to select the entire table.
- Press Alt+Shift+Up Arrow to move the table up one paragraph.
- You have now effectively inserted an empty paragraph below the table.
- Click after the bookmark and press Delete.

OK... You got me...so there is always a "jippo" way to get things done. :)

Many thanks for your support. It is always greatly appreciated.

I would have added a new row to the table, split the table and then deleted the redundant row.

Don't know if that is any less clicks or not.

That just might possibly work too. I did not think about splitting the table.
Although the previous replies solved my issue, this is worth a mention too. TX stuck!
