From the Help topic "Add a bookmark":
Bookmark names must begin with a letter and can contain numbers. You can't
include spaces in a bookmark name. However, you can use the underscore
character to separate words€” for example, "First_heading."

It IS mysterious, because the prohibition of spaces (and other forbidden
characters) is not mentioned in "Word 2002 Inside Out" (p. 302, text box,
item 2), nor in the PC-based help system, but only in the online Help
system.
It took me half an hour to even guess what the problem was. I had no idea
that certain characters were forbidden; it is a poor design principle not
to
mention such "gotchas" if they exist. (Ideally, I'd suggest the gotchas be
eliminated, but I suppose there must be a reason for them in this case.)
Adding three words of warning to the text box would cost nothing--and
adding
a beep upon invalid character entry would be an inexpensive, user-friendly
nicety.

And there should be a diagnostic beep or message provided when the
user
enters illegal characters. Otherwise, it's mysterious why the Add
button
won't appear.
