ImportBookmarks and ExportBookmarks API macros

Hi

has anybody working examples how to use ImportBookmarks and ExportBookmarks API methods in vb macros?

1.) In QVPlugin, I export user bookmarks with command ExportUserBookmarks, creating file UserBookmarks.BM.xml.

2.) When I try to re-import UserBookmarks.BM.xml, funny things start to happen:

     a.) Document bookmarks are suddenly visible as imported server user bookmarks

     b.) Using option "2=Use Import File" "ImportBookmarks <file> 2" does not overwrite the old bookmark, but just duplicate it.

Thx - Marcel

Hi, you could set all the selection and save the bookmark via macro

ActiveDocument.CreateUserBookmark "NAMEBOOKMARK"

good luck

Hi

thank you for the answer, but I want to use the export and import api commands. This allows me to e.g. rename selected fields in the xml document and then to reimport the changed xml file.
