WD98: GoBack Method Switches to Another Document

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem and return to the previous editing location within a document, use one of the following methods.

Method 1: Set a Permanent Bookmark

When you run the macro, the insertion point will go to this bookmark location.

The following macro creates a bookmark called "mark" at the insertion point.

NOTE: If the document that contains the bookmark is not open, you will receive an error.

   Sub SetBookMark()
      On Error Resume Next
      Selection.Bookmarks.Add Name:="YourBookmarkName"
      If Err > 0 Then MsgBox Err.Description
   End Sub
				

The following macro returns the insertion point to the bookmark you set.

   Sub GoToMark()
      On Error Resume Next
      Selection.GoTo What:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="mark"
      If Err > 0 Then MsgBox Err.Description
   End Sub
				

For more information about adding bookmarks, click the Office Assistant while in the Visual Basic Editor, type Add Bookmark, click Search, and then click to view "Add Method(Bookmarks Collection)."

NOTE: If the Assistant is hidden, click the Office Assistant button on the Standard toolbar. If the Assistant is not able to answer your query, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

Method 2: Set a Named Range

The named range exists only while the macro is running. You can return to the named location from within any document while the document that contains the named range is open.

NOTE: If the document that contains the named range is not open, you will receive an error message.

The following macro defines a range called "MyRange" at the insertion

   Sub SetRangeMark()
      On Error Resume Next
      Set MyRange = Selection.Range
      If Err > 0 Then MsgBox Err.Description
   End Sub
				

The following macro returns the insertion point to the range set in the previous example:

   Sub GoToRangeMark()
      On Error Resume Next
      MyRange.Select
      If Err > 0 Then MsgBox Err.Description
   End Sub
				

For more information about Range Method, click the Office Assistant while in the Visual Basic Editor, type Range Method click Search, and then click to view "Range Method."

NOTE: If the Assistant is hidden, click the Office Assistant button on the Standard toolbar. If the Assistant is not able to answer your query, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
