There are several kinds of bookmarks in tinymce.
You could use for example: var b = tinymce.activeEditor.selection.getBookmark(2,true);
and later on: tinymce.activeEditor.selection.moveToBookmark(b);

I edited a document from a client with some highlights then later decided to remove the highlights for comments instead.
For whatever reason, the document highlighted a number of bullet point and numbered list sections which I could not revert when I attempted to select the entire document and change the highlighting to 'No Fill'.
The highlighted bullet point/number lists did not allow me to select them to revert.
Searches on Google seemed to result in a ton of convoluted "[Solved]" responses on their forum which didn't fix the issue for me (or resulted in a TLDR response from my brain...):

Seriously... what the heck!? How can this be so hard? So I decided this issue needed some serious StackOverflow help...

So after all that...
I figured it out. But its still crazy how it's not answered very clearly in the resources above... I hope this helps someone not spend as much time on this in the future.
If you double-click the first bullet/number of the list... it appears to select the first word of the first item of the list, BUT you'll see that it also selects the list bullets/numbers with a dark gray highlight.
Now selected, you can remove the highlight from the list.
Selecting all of the document doesn't select the numbered/bulleted lists.
Well, most of this solutions didnt helped me.
But I found a simple way to fix it:
Select Highlight option.
Position to the left of the bullet until the cursor converts to a white arrow.
One click to highlight entire text line. One click again to un-highlight the entire text line (including the bullet).
Select the highlighted area, rather "highlight" the highlighted area and press CTRL+Q, it is a paragraph formatting issue and this should remove all formatting from the selected area.
The answers above didn't work. Try this (mouse-select means left-click and drag the selection of words, aka highlighting but wanted to avoid confusion):
Turn on paragraph marks ¶ in Word
Add a clean paragraph before the highlighted-bullet sentence. (Clean means it's unbulleted, without colour highlight, unformatted)
Mouse-select the entire bulleted sentence containing the highlighted bullet. Make sure the selection also goes left before the highlighted bullet to include the clean paragraph above it i.e. your selection should include the ''¶'' mark of the clean paragraph you created in 2.
Apply white/clear/no-colour highlighting.
It's actually pretty simple though I was having trouble with it myself. Just select all the items of that particular bulleted/numbered list and highlight them. Then select the items again and remove the highlight. Doing that removed the highlights from the bullets too for me.
Super frustrating but here's the fix that's always worked for me (even with .doc or .docx file):
Double click the bulleted/numbered list item so they all highlight
Ctrl + Spacebar (resets character formatting)
Apply any needed formatting (font type, bold, etc.)
This will keep the formatting on the paragraph (indents, header type, etc.) but will just allow you to change the format of the actual text that is highlighted - which is likely all you want.
Hope that works for you!
The highlighted text in the paragraph that you have highlighted past the period id causing this issue. If you want to keep the last sentence highlighted but remove the highlight bullet just remove highlight on the period at the end of the paragraph and the highlighted bullet goes away :)
(If you can) Start from above, add in a new clean bullet point, copy/paste the desired text from the problematic highlighted bullet point, then delete the problematic highlighted bullet point altogether.
We use TinyMCE as the wysiwyg editor for our content builder. You can drag and drop a text module and once you click an edit button an TinyMCE instance will open. This works really well.
Problem is now that the builder is made for designers so a lot of the times you add a text module just for a 1 word heading or other cases where you only have one block. (one h1, one p etc.) You can also see this behavior in the official demos: Just add an lonely h2 heading, select all text and start to write.
Now Tiny MCE has the default behavior that if you select the complete text (which is almost always the case if you for example change an 1 line / word heading) and you start typing you will lose your formats completely. ( in our case: color, font-size, font-weight, line-height etc.)
This makes editing an heading for example really painful. Best workaround so far is to leave 1 character to not lose the format and then delete the character in the end.
I never saw that behavior in other editors so my question is: Is there maybe an easy setting or workaround to avoid this?
If there are situations where you want a root element to be something specific (e.g. <h2>) you can use the forced_root_block setting on that instance of TinyMCE to force a specific element:
https://www.tinymce.com/docs/configure/content-filtering/#forced_root_block
Even if you delete all text the new text will be wrapped with that root element. See this TinyMCE Fiddle for examples:

I think this would address your one line issue?
 I'm now puzzled by the behavior of SE about the auto-copy feature.
First,when I double click on any word,the word will be copied to the clipboard,however I never found any other editor which behaves like this.This is actually annoying exspecially when you want to paste one word to another word by double click the other word to select it.
 Second,When I select a block by moving the mouse ,the selection area is automatically copied to the clipboard,which makes me quite depressed because I select the block just to highlight it but not to copy it.
 As you see,these two features both concern about the clipboard in SE.I actually don't think they are good designs.Or is there any way to close these features,I will be very grateful to get any helpfull advice here.Here is my e-mail[[hustwsh2011#gmail.com][1]] if you would be so nice to send the answer to my mailbox.It's also welcomed to post your answer here so as to help others who are also puzzling by this problem.

What is the Emacs mode or package that highlights Lisp forms changing the color of the backgrounds so that the form you are in has one color, the outer form another, the outer outer form another and so on?
You may want to try mwe-color-box (screenshot below) or read Five approaches to s-expression highlighting by Lemondor.

Take a look at screenshots here http://lemonodor.com/archives/001207.html, may be that is what you want.
I don't use it, but this might be what you're looking for:

I am hacking up a tagging application for emacs. I have got a tag cloud/weighted list successfully displaying on a buffer, but i am running into a snag. I need to be able to properly word-wrap the buffer, but I haven't a clue where to start.
The font I am using is a variable width font. On top of that, each tag is going to be in a different size, depending on how many times it shows up on the buffer. Finally, the window that displays the tagcloud could be in a window that is 200 pixels wide, or the full screen width.
I really have no idea where to start. I tried longlines mode on the tagcloud buffer, but that didn't work.
Source code is at: http://emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/emacs/free-tagging.el
You probably want to track posn-at-point and posn-at-x-y as you put the tags in the buffer.
Can you use (fill-paragraph) or (fill-region) or similar? They wrap at a column, so don't have variable width font smarts, but if the fill column is low they might work for next to no effort. At least until you get a pixel-perfect solution sorted out :-) (maybe YAGNI...)
