This answer involves opening an existing Word file that has a bookmark already saved. This code will select and replace the text at the bookmark with our own text, and then it will print.
Note: The ExecuteMacro() commands are separated into different buttons because of a timing issue. If you want everything to work from the same procedure, change the TRUE to FALSE.
