In the above example I have selected it by hardcoding the start and end of the range, but how can I do it by simply referring to the existing bookmark? I checked out MSDN and found ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("temp").Select at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa192170(office.10).aspx , but WA1.ActiveDocument.Bookmarks('Diag').Select (or WD1.Bookmarks('Diag').Select) does not work.
