Export Excel data to Word Bookmark/Merge Field

[GeneralOb]

Hello
I’ve just realised that I’ve posted this question in the wrong forum (General Excel Discussion & Other Questions) so have re-posted it here.

I’m currently having some difficulty with the code below because it uses Bookmarks. As Bookmarks can only be used in one place at any one time, I have added some Cross-reference fields to my Word template.

However I’m unable to get the Cross-reference fields to update correctly. I think this might be because the code replaces the bookmark field with data and therefore when the Cross-reference fields try to update with the same data, the reference source is not found as it no longer is a bookmark.

Please could someone let me know if my understanding of this is correct and hopefully help me find a way around this (perhaps I should use Merge Fields)?

Thanks in advance.
p.s. I’m currently using Windows 7 and Office 2007.
