WD2000: WordBasic.EditGoTo Command Does Not Go to Bookmark (212634)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Word 2000
This article was previously published under Q212634

SYMPTOMS

When you use the WordBasic form of the EditGoTo command to go to a bookmark using Visual Basic for Applications, the insertion point moves to the beginning of the current page instead of to the item that is marked with a bookmark.

CAUSE

Calling EditGoTo with WordBasic.EditGoTo does not return an error message, but this is not a supported method and may not function as expected.
