Bookmark Selection Question

I have nested bookmarks in a document (for example [xxxxx[yyyyyy]xxxxx]).

Is it possible using Word VBA to identify if the cursor is in the "yyyyy"
bookmark instead of the "xxxxx" bookmark? When I use
"Selection.Bookmarks(1).Select", I always get the larger of the two bookmarks
returned.

Many thanks.

Hi Magic Man,

Try something like:
Sub GetBookmarkNames()
Dim Bkmrk As Bookmark
For Each Bkmrk In Selection.Bookmarks
MsgBox Bkmrk.Name
Next
End Sub

Cheers

Hi Magic Man,

try this one:

With Selection.Bookmarks
MsgBox .Item(.Count).Name
.Item(.Count).Select
End With
