Hi ?B?QW5keUJlYXI=?=,

I am using Word 2003 now (2000 up to now) and I am finding that when I:
select text in a source document that contains bookmarks; swap to my target
document; select 'Edit' | 'Paste Special' and 'HTML Format' & 'Paste Link' -
I end up with the nice html formatted hyperlink as I did in 2000, but now,
the bookmarks from the source document show up [] in the link *and* they have
been copied to the target document as real bookmark entries (i.e. show up in
the Bookmark list ('Insert' | 'Bookmarks')). This never used to happen

Indeed, all versions of Word, back through 6.0, have done this. The only time
you might not have picked up the bookmarks is if they already existed in the
target file.

but they were always
'hidden bookmarks' so I never saw it?

Possibly. That would depend on how they're named; bookmarks with names beginning
with an underscore won't be visible unless the "Hidden bookmarks" checkbox is
activated (deactivated and reactivated). I do believe Word 2003 tends to display
more bookmarks than Word 2000 did, but I've never really thought about the
details, because I like seeing bookmarks.
