Actually your code would get the bookmark of the current document not the &quot;other&quot; document. But there is a section in the procedure where the other document is the active document so I placed your code there and it worked.<br />

Thanks!

Actually, I just showed you how to get the Bookmark text into a string variable. Document can be set as per your requirement. Glad you tweaked it as per your need. :)

MS Word VBA: I can copy text defined by a bookmark from another Word document into the current document using InsertFile. Example: 
<pre><code id="code-10-29095749-1">Selection.InsertFile strDocName, &quot;CurrentMeds&quot;</code></pre>
Is there a way to copy text defined by a bookmark from another Word document to a VBA string instead?

Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) enables building user-defined functions (UDFs), automating processes and accessing Windows API and other low-level functionality through dynamic-link libraries (DLLs). VBA is closely related to Visual Basic and uses the Visual Basic Runtime Library, but it can normally only run code within a host application rather than as a standalone program. It can, however, be used to control one application from another via OLE Automation. VBA is built into most Microsoft Office applications.

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.
