All the bookmarks in the document make up its Bookmarks collection. You refer to the individual bookmarks by their name:

     #WordDoc.Bookmarks.item<'address1'>

The Insert Data for Employee button is used to insert the details of the currently selected employee in the document. In the Click event of this button a bookmark is first selected using its Select method and the current contents of a LANSA field are then inserted using the TypeText method:

     invoke method(#WordDoc.Bookmarks.item<'address1'>.select)
     invoke method(#WordApp.Selection.TypeText) text(#address1

These methods are invoked for all the bookmarks in the document.
