[mso] Re: Word 2002: Convert Number To String

Thanks Lisa.  A straw can be good . . . there is progress, 650,000.00
changed to 650000.00, it removed the comma, but still kept it at numerical,
so I know at least it is finding the right instance of the bookmark, just
whether I have added the Str$ in the right way.  Here is what I changed:

         Dim strPrice As String
         strPrice = Str$(tbxPrice)
         UpdateBookmarkProc "bkPrice1", strPrice

I have also been searching the web and find some public functions that
people put in their code, and am testing to see if adding one of them will
be the missing part.  I'm not giving up yet!  Thank you again, Cathy

Cathy,

I'm not sure if it's relevant but the str command returns a variant
and variants are like chameleons in that they are still variants when
they are strings!! Try Str$ instead. This should return a "real"
string.

Again.. just clutching straws really.

Lisa
