VBA - Word, Clear content of bookmark but not the bookmark.

Hi guys,

I have this code and i want it only to delete the content within the bookmark not the bookmark it self,

could anyone help me please:

Public Sub Deletebookmark(strBookmark As String, chkResult As Boolean)

'Delete choosen bookmark
        
    If chkResult = False Then
        ActiveDocument.Bookmarks(strBookmark).Range.Delete
    End If

End Sub

Open in new window

And it gets call by this:

Deletebookmark "test", CheckBox14.Value ' Test BM

Open in new window

I have this code which works for me to replace content within the bookmark.

Sub InsertBookmark(strBookmark As String, TextToUse As String)
    
'Insert text into bookmark without deleting
    Dim BMRange As Range
    
    Set BMRange = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks(strBookmark).Range
        BMRange.Text = TextToUse
        
    If Len(strBookmark) > 0 Then ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add strBookmark, BMRange
    
End Sub

Open in new window

What i want to achive is basically add a placeholder so i can add/remove Buildingblock/quickpart without the bookmarks getting deleted.. is this possible?

I have alot of bits of code i just need some help with doing it right i guess..

How i add the Building block is like this:

If CheckBox24 = True Then ' insert BM
    Set tmpl = ActiveDocument.AttachedTemplate
        tmpl.BuildingBlockEntries("test3").Insert _
        ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("test3").Range, True

Open in new window

I can really figur out how to use the "InsertBookmark" sub with the buildingblock insert

I still learning VBA on my own so please bare with me...

Thank you in advance

I just added some more text to the question please read.

What i'm trying to achieve is being able to add/remove buildingblocks from the document without the bookmarks being deleted, and all this happends if a checkbox is true or false in the userform.

There is nothing wrong with Rafael's code.

I have seen that happen. I think that it is usually part of a table, but I can never reproduce it at will. To be sure we would need to see the part of the document in question.

I suppose that you are trying to implement the code for your previous question: https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/28618302/VBA-Word-building-up-document-with-buildingblocks-with-userform.html

The method that I recommended doesn't try to keep the bookmark for a deleted block, but looks for the right place in the bookmarked blocks that are in the document.
