}




}
}

I can go to bookmarks in tables just ok but when I call the method doc.GoToBookmark(smth) where smth is insidea the header, footer or the textbox vs2008 throws an exception that it couldn't find the bookmark.

Any ideas what can I do.

Thanks a lot.

Welcome pedro.alonsod,
I don't know anything about a new language C# urgent.
I think this code originally written with VS 2005 (C#).

Hi, so this is no c# urgent thank you man you just saved my life I was thinking this was just Dâ™­ (D-flat) and it was written in VS2005 awesome how can I ever pay you, I know I'll sacrificy my first born in your name that'll do it.

Should I mark the world as solved now?:icon_razz:
