**Steps to Reproduce:**
1. In a Word template, create a bookmark with a placeholder string (e.g., "XXXX").
2. Select the entire placeholder text, apply custom formatting (e.g., font = Arial, size = 14pt, bold).
3. In LabVIEW, use `Append Report Text.vi` to insert content into that bookmark.
**Expected Behavior:**
Inserted text should inherit the formatting of the original bookmark placeholder (i.e., retain font size, style, font name).
**Actual Behavior:**
Inserted text reverts to default or Normal style. The original formatting is lost.
**Confirmed Conditions:**
- The bookmark is a proper *range* bookmark (not just an insertion point).
- Formatting is correctly applied in the Word template and visible before insertion.
- Behavior occurs both in LabVIEW IDE and compiled EXE.
- Same behavior observed across multiple PCs and with different templates.

What do you mean "create a bookmark with a placeholder string"? Just use the standard Insert->Bookmark. Format is retained.
