I have the name of a bookmark in the variable "b" which is dimensioned  as
bookmark.  Is there a way I can call a subroutine which has the same name as
the bookmark whose name in "b"? My documentation talks about variants but no
pointers..

You can call a subroutine using the value of a bookmark with something like
the following:
Sub FirstTest ()
Dim b As Bookmark
Dim sName As String
For Each b In ActiveDocument.Bookmarks
    sName = b.Name
    Application.Run sName
Next b
End Sub

Sub SecondTest()
Beep
End Sub

If you run the FirstTest macro and have a bookmark in the activedocument
named "SecondTest" then the macro will beep. Notice that the value being
passed with Application.Run is string variable, not a bookmark. If you
dimension the variable to pass as a bookmark, then VBA will raise an error.

Hi Bob,

Excuse me for asking, but I can't tell what you want to achieve.
A subroutine called 'b' in your project and an object variable (dim'd as
bookmark)
named 'b' ??

If they're residing in the same routine, VBA won't even let you pass instant
compilation ...
Why not name the subroutine differently ?? Or the object variable ??

I think you will need to elaborate some more on what it is you want to
achieve.

Kind regards,
Perry
