Insert Text in Word

[nigz]

I have built a form with textboxes & when I press the finish button it inserts the text into a document. However I want the text to overwrite rather than insert.I've used the following code:

Selection.GoTo wdgotobookmark, Name:="B1"
Overwrite = true
Selection.TypeText Textbox1.Text

The reason I want to overwrite is that the forms have lines (made up of underscores) where I insert the text & I want to overwrite thise lines with the inserted text.

niqz,

Try the following:

Application.Options.ReplaceSelection = True
Selection.GoTo wdgotobookmark, Name:="B1"
Selection.TypeText Textbox1.Text

Thanks - but have found another way of tackling the problem now.

i would do it like this

dim a

set a = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("B1&quot
a.range.text="This is the text"
