I have been bookmarks to set destination areas for the information in the
dialog box but if I recall the box the information is added a second time.
However.. I would like the dialog box to keep the original information but
overwrite what was written in the document the second time I use it. So..
How can I delete just a word filled in by a dialog box and is there a better
way to do this than using bookmarks?

Thanks in advance

I don't know exactly what the problem is but I have made a template for
proposals that works with bookmarks and dialog boxes. What I did is this:
the first time the dialog box is opened all the fields are empty. The user
supplies the necessary info and closes the dialog. When the dialog is opened
again, the fields are filled with the values from the bookmarks, which the
user can then modify. When the dialog is closed, all values are updated.

Is this what you mean? If you want a specific solution you have to supply me
with some code, I think. Let me know if you need any help.

IF you define your bookmark at an insertion point, and save the
template with EMPTY bookmarks, then VBA will insert the text after the
bookmarks (retaining the bookmarks).

...Of course that means a more complicated procedure the second time
around....so if there aren't too many items to fill in, I'd recommend
using document properties and fields instead of bookmarks.

You will have to populate the UserForm with defaults
as set in the bookmarks (Bookmark.Range.Text.), something like:

Userform initializes and you go:
'getting default values
TextBox1 = ActiveDocument.BookMarks("MyBookMark").Range.Text

Userform after first run:
'Returning userform (adjusted or not) values to document
ActiveDocument.BookMarks("MyBookMark").Range.Text = TextBox1

Calling userform again:
'same story as intializing first run (and doing so repeatedly ...)
TextBox1 = ActiveDocument.BookMarks("MyBookMark").Range.Text

summarizing: place default values in bookmarks, pick up these bookmarks
values
when initializing.

Note: Uncheck the OverWrite Selection checkbox in Tools|Options tab Edit
This will ensure that bookmarks won't be deleted after insertion of text.

If the above is unclear, kindly repost.
