Newbie macor vba script

Hi,
I'm new at this. I would like to pause my Word97 macro and input the content for Name:=""

as in Name:="Albion2"

How can I re-write this please?

Someone suggested:

rng = InputBox "Please enter a range name"
.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Name:=rng

But that invokes the File/Save-as window? What I really need to to be able to pause and input the data in the bookmark window.

I know Word97 is oldish, but still very useful for what I do. I bought and have the 2000 CD, but never got around to installing it, would you believe.

John

Sub f12()
'
' f12 Macro
' Macro recorded 15/11/04 by jtjohnston
'
With ActiveDocument.Bookmarks
.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Name:="Albion2"
.DefaultSorting = wdSortByLocation
.ShowHidden = False
End With
End Sub

{I've also cross-posted [Sorry, bad for me to do] in microsoft.public. I'm not sure which is the appropriate newsgroup? Some have very little traffic too. Pertains to VBA or Macros? Both?!}

Hi John,
looks like the beginners' group would be the right one for you.
Nevertheless,
select the text you want to apply a bookmark to and,
if you really must have the according dialog, then
Dialogs(wdDialogInsertBookmark).Show

There are still a lot of people, which like Word 97 best.
... and Jeff is right, of course, even asking must be learned.

The following will open an input box into which you can enter the name of
the bookmark to be added and will then insert a bookmark with that name at
the location of the selection:

Dim bmname As String
bmname = InputBox("Enter the bookmark name", "Add Bookmark")
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add bmname, Selection.Range
