How can I format a bookmark?

[marcello62]

Hi there,

I fill a word document from a ms access vba code module using bookmarks.
Now I want some bookmarks to be represented in a color, say green.
I fill the bookmark:
doc.Bookmarks("b1718_1").Range.Text = doc.Bookmarks("b1718_1").Range.Text = Format(rs!mv5_1_10p, "0.0")
This works.
Then I tried:
doc.Bookmarks("b1718_1").Range.HighlightColorIndex = wdBrightGreen
This works, but it makes the whole bookmark green. So the value is put in a green square.
But what I want is the value itself, which is a figure, in green.
I did some research on the internet and found that the following code should work:
doc.Bookmarks("b1718_1").Range.Text = doc.Bookmarks("b1718_1").Range.Text = Format(rs!mv5_1_10p, "0.0")
doc.Bookmarks("b1718_1").Range.Font.ColorIndex = wdBrightGreen
The code compiles, but the value still had forecolor black...

Does anyone know what might help? Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanx

This worked! Apparently the tric was to select the bookmark before manipulating it's font.
Thanx very much!
