Int32

The number of characters by which the Bookmark control was moved or extended. The method returns a negative number if the movement is backward through the document.

Examples

The following code example adds text to the first paragraph and then adds a Bookmark control with text to the second paragraph. The code then moves the start of the bookmark over one word.

This example is for a document-level customization.

private void BookmarkStartOf()
{
    object Unit = Word.WdUnits.wdWord;
    object Extend = Word.WdMovementType.wdExtend;
    this.Paragraphs[1].Range.InsertParagraphBefore();
    this.Paragraphs[1].Range.InsertParagraphBefore();
    this.Paragraphs[1].Range.Text = "First paragraph of text.";
    this.Paragraphs[2].Range.Text = "Second paragraph of text.";
    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Bookmark bookmark1 =
        this.Controls.AddBookmark(this.Paragraphs[2].Range.Words[2],
        "bookmark1");
    
    bookmark1.StartOf(ref Unit, ref Extend);
}

Private Sub BookmarkStartOf()

    Me.Paragraphs(1).Range.InsertParagraphBefore()
    Me.Paragraphs(1).Range.InsertParagraphBefore()
    Me.Paragraphs(1).Range.Text = "First paragraph of text."
    Dim Bookmark1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Bookmark = _
        Me.Controls.AddBookmark(Me.Paragraphs(1).Range, "Bookmark1")

    Bookmark1.Text = "This is sample bookmark text."
    Bookmark1.StartOf(Word.WdUnits.wdWord, _
        Word.WdMovementType.wdMove)

End Sub

Remarks

If the beginning of the Bookmark control is already at the beginning of the specified unit, this method does not move or extend the Bookmark control.
