[dba-Tech] Determine current position in Word

This reply tipped me off and ended up simplifying my code. Since I already
had the document open I did not need the additional declares, and since I
was already inside a With Bookmarks block, I pared your suggestion down to
this:
        .Item("AdditionalInformationTable").Range.InsertFile
(CurrentRTFFile)
And it is working! Lovely! Thanks!
But since I live by the theory, If it works, break it, an additional
question: How can I provide a folder name for the user when she saves the
file? The system cannot predict what the user will choose to call the file,
but can predict where she wants to store it.
Thanks again,
Arthur

A couple of things come to mind, keeping in mind I don't have O2K3 to test
with.

1) Does your doc variable point to the new document based on the template?
2) The line Set rng = doc.Bookmarks.Item("AdditionalInformationTable")
should actually be:
Set rng = doc.Bookmarks.Item("AdditionalInformationTable").RANGE
3) Is the document/template protected in way? (Tools|Protect Document...)
4) Try opening the rtf file in Word and then save it as a Word
document. It may not like inserting RTF.

The first 2 is my best guess as to why it's not working. The other 2
are just WAGs.
