Hello, I was wondering about best practices when using the Bookmark class.
I have a document with many bookmarks, that I need to replace with values.
I have been able to load my "template" document, retrieve all the bookmarks,
and begin to replace values. All of the bookmarks in my document are just
empty placeholders. Generalized code snippet below:
Bookmarks bs = doc.getBookmarks();
Bookmark b = bs.getBookmark(i);
int start = b.getStart();
int end = b.getEnd();
range = new Range(start, end, doc);
range.insertAfter("Text I want to put into bookmark location");
The problem is that the document range becomes unstable after I do a couple
range.insertAfter commands. The start and end of each bookmark is offset by
the amount of characters I have inserted. This is a big problem when I try
to insert text into a bookmark near the beginning of a document, after I
have already inserted text later in the document. Maybe I should not be
using the "Range" in this situation? Any guidance would be appreciated.

Hi,
Today I updated trunk code, so your example should work. Please also
notice new method replaceText(String, boolean) that can help to
replace bookmark text without search-and-replace.
