WD98: Jumping to a Bookmark Located in a Header or Footer

ID: Q181294

The information in this article applies to:

SUMMARY

Microsoft Word 98 Macintosh Edition allows you to insert bookmarks into a document header or footer. Word 97 also allows this. However, in versions of Word prior to Word 97, you can only jump to a bookmark in a document header or footer when the header or footer pane is active.

This article contains a sample Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications macro (Sub procedure) that demonstrates how to jump to a bookmark in a header or footer.

The following sample Visual Basic macro tests whether a bookmark named Test exists. If so, the macro selects the bookmark. If the bookmark exists within a header or footer, Word automatically opens the header or footer pane. 

   Sub GotoHeaderBookmark()
      If ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Exists("test") = True Then
         ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("test").Select
      End If
   End Sub
