SUMMARY
Microsoft Word 98 Macintosh Edition allows you to insert bookmarks into a document header or footer. Word 97 also allows this. However, in versions of Word prior to Word 97, you can only jump to a bookmark in a document header or footer when the header or footer pane is active.

This article contains a sample Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications macro (Sub procedure) that demonstrates how to jump to a bookmark in a header or footer.



MORE INFORMATION
Microsoft provides programming examples for illustration only, without warranty either expressed or implied. This includes, but is not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. This article assumes that you are familiar with the programming language that is being demonstrated and with the tools that are used to create and to debug procedures. Microsoft support engineers can help explain the functionality of a particular procedure, but they will not modify these examples to provide added functionality or construct procedures to meet your specific requirements. The following sample Visual Basic macro tests whether a bookmark named Test exists. If so, the macro selects the bookmark. If the bookmark exists within a header or footer, Word automatically opens the header or footer pane. Sub GotoHeaderBookmark If ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Exists("test") = True Then ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("test").Select End If  End Sub
