Default Limiting the bookmark content

Oddly enough, I will reply to myself. I think the best workaround, since our
court numbers are always the same length, would be to put the bookmark in a
text box that is only big enough to show eight characters. This way, I don't
compromise the information brought in by the bookmar, and instead, mask the
information that I don't want to show. What do you think? Is this something
that would work?

What is the easiest way to limit the bookmark content. I have a document
that includes a court number from a database. This court number is brought
in via a bookmark, i.e. [court#]. An example of our court numbers, as
entered in out database, is as follows: JCF12345/04-20-07, where the first
eight characters are the court number (JCF12345) and the following
information is additional referencing information. I only want the actual
court number to print (the first eight characters). I don't want the rest of
it to automatically appear on the document.

Due to the way our DMS works, I cannot use macros in my template or shell
documents.

Do you have any solutions?
