Bookmark in the header problem

[andrewecu]

Hi i'm coding with visual basic and i need to insert values in bookmarks in my document template. The document template has bookmarks within its header. If i'm at the body of the text and i try even GoTo a bookmark in the header it gives me an error that it " Word Cannot find the requested bookmark". When it does exist but only in the header.

This is a snippet of my code:
dim wordapp As Word.Application

wordapp.ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.SeekView = wdSeekCurrentPageHeader 'To go into the page header
wordapp.Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToBookmark, name:=bookmarkinheader

Is there something i'm missing?? it will give me the error after the execution of that line of code. And its sending me A wall

Your help would be appretiated Thanks

this is how I would do it

  Dim oApp As Word.Application
  Dim oDoc As Word.Document
  Dim sTemplate As String
  Dim sFile As String
  
  sTemplate = "C:\testtemplate.dot"
  sFile = "C:\test.doc"
  
  Set oApp = New Word.Application
  Set oDoc = oApp.Documents.Add(sTemplate)
  oDoc.Bookmarks("bmkHeader").Range.Text = "this is my header"
  oDoc.Bookmarks("bmkFooter").Range.Text = "this is my footer"
  oDoc.Bookmarks("bmkBody").Range.Text = "this is my body"
  oDoc.SaveAs sFile
  oDoc.Close
  oApp.Quit
  Set oApp = Nothing
