Oops--you're right. But I did spend half an hour looking through the book and
repeatedly trying to get Insert Bookmark to accept a bookmark entry before I
looked at Help. Im sure there are many users whove given up on this feature
as a result of these omissions, and never finally stumbled onto the answer,
reasoning that such a basic piece of information would never have been
omitted from both the manual and the dialog box. It should be mentioned in
both places. That's the bottom line.

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.
