Not sure that I understand exactly what you mean, but let's start with this.<br />

<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-279044"><span>Sub RandomBookmarkData()</span>
<span>Dim number As Integer</span>
<span>Dim rng As Range</span>
<span>Randomize</span>
<span>number = Rnd * 10000</span>
<span>Set rng = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks(&quot;MyBookmark&quot;).Range</span>
<span>rng.Text = Format(number, &quot;0000&quot;)</span>
<span>ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add &quot;MyBookmark&quot;, rng</span>
<span>End Sub</span>
</code></pre>

Hi Graham,<br />
<br />
Is it possible to just generate a random number as a field updates at the time of printing? I' thinking something like:<br />
<br />
{ If {{Rnd} * 1000} &gt;&nbsp;&quot;500&quot; &quot;Yes&quot; &quot;No&quot;}<br />
<br />
Thanks

I'm afraid there isn't a randomising feature in Word fields. You will have to use VBA.

Hi Graham,<br />
<br />
Thanks for the guidance. Ok, so I try to run the macro as you have it, and the editor pops up with this line of code highlighted -<br />
<br />
Set rng = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks(&quot;<wbr />RandomNumb<wbr />er&quot;).Range<wbr /><br />
<br />
Wnen I place the cursor over the &quot;Set rng&quot; portion of the code, a box pops up that says, &quot;rng = Nothing&quot;.<br />
Any ideas?<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

<div>
Yes...sorry that I did not include this earlier.<br />
<br />
Run-time error '5941':<br />
<br />
The requested member of the collection does not exist.

<div>
Sorry,<br />
Is it possible for the code to automatically assign and populate into the bookmark called &quot;RandomNumber&quot;?

<div>
Hi Graham,<br />
<br />
Thanks for your help, I was able to get this working.<br />

Dear Expert,<br />
Is there a random number that can be referenced or activated upon printout or macrobutton activation so that the number can be used as a Reference Bookmark to determine a simple yes/no outcome? If so, how do you write the code?

Random number generation in MS Word

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
