Unless you change your document to a protected form, a bookmark _can_ be
deleted quite easily. But if you are the only person editing the document,
you know about the bookmark and you can be careful not to delete it.
One way to make the bookmark more "safe" could be to select the entire table
cell when adding the bookmark (then the bookmark will not be deleted unless
you delete the cell). However, this means that the reference to the bookmark
will also insert the entire table cell - I don't know whether this is
acceptable. Bookmarking the entire table cell will make sure that the
reference always contains all contents from the table cell. If the bookmark
includes only the text, there is a risk that content is added outside the
bookmark. For details about such bookmark problems, see the demos at:

Thanks. I eventually found the bookmark&REF combination. However, I found it
is easy to lose the bookmarks. Any suggestions of how to protect them?

I have a table in a WORD document. Later in the document, I need to extract
data from a particular cell in the table. How do I do that?
