Can be one of the following WdFontBias constants: wdFontBiasDefault, wdFontBiasDontCare, or wdFontBiasFareast.

Examples

The following code example adds a Bookmark control to the document and then inserts a double-headed arrow into the bookmark. The bookmark is deleted from the document when you use the InsertSymbol method.

This example is for a document-level customization.

Private Sub BookmarkInsertSymbol()
    Me.Paragraphs(1).Range.InsertParagraphBefore()
    Dim Bookmark1 As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Bookmark = _
        Me.Controls.AddBookmark(Me.Paragraphs(1).Range, "Bookmark1")

    Bookmark1.InsertSymbol(171)

End Sub

private void BookmarkInsertSymbol()
{
    this.Paragraphs[1].Range.InsertParagraphBefore();
    Microsoft.Office.Tools.Word.Bookmark bookmark1 =
        this.Controls.AddBookmark(this.Paragraphs[1].Range,
        "bookmark1");

    int CharacterNumber = 171;
    bookmark1.InsertSymbol(CharacterNumber, ref missing, ref missing,
        ref missing);
}
