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.
