Word automation

[Veda]

Hi
I have a word document(template) with some BookMarks. Also for the first time I have inserted some text against those bookmarks in the document through my code and have saved the document. For the next time I need to open the saved document with the text in bookmarks and before opening I may need to overwrite with the fresh values on some of the bookmarks.
When I tried to do this using Range.text or Range.InsertAfter methods it always appends with the existing text
Where as I want to replace the old text with the new one for that bookmark
Please let me know what is the solution for this

internal void BookMarkReplaceRange(string bookmarkName, string newText)
{
object missingValue = Type.Missing;
object oBookmarkName = bookmarkName;
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Range rng = app.ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.get_Item(ref oBookmarkName).Range;
rng.Text = newText;
object oRng = rng;
app.ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add(bookmarkName, ref oRng);
}
