Error! Bookmark not defined. HELP!!
Hi...
I know I've seen this problem before, but when I did a search I couldn't find anything so am submitting it myself. I've created a document that has a TOC at the beginning and Index at the end. However, when I print it, I get the message "Error! Bookmark not defined" where my Fields are for the Index. I've gone in (several times) and Searched & Replaced to remove them, but they keep 'popping up'. What am I missing? As usual, this is such an informative group and I really appreciate the suggestions! Thanks.... |

Answer: Error! Bookmark not defined. HELP!!
Hi there!
It sounds like you're having trouble with bookmarks in your document. Don't worry, this is a common issue and can be easily fixed. Here's what you can try:
If you're still seeing the "Error! Bookmark not defined" message, it's possible that there are some hidden bookmarks in your document that are causing the issue. Here's how to find and delete them:

Error! Bookmark not defined. HELP!!
Hi ?B?QmFyYg==?=,
I know I've seen this problem before, but when I did a search I couldn't find anything so am submitting it myself. I've created a document that has a TOC at the beginning and Index at the end. However, when I print it, I get the message "Error! Bookmark not defined" where my Fields are for the Index. I've gone in (several times) and Searched & Replaced to remove them, but they keep 'popping up'. What am I missing? As usual, this is such an informative group and I really appreciate the suggestions! I'm not quite sure... but in order to locate the fields to delete or lock them, press Alt+F9 to toggle on the field codes. If you're currently seeing what you want to have print, select the "problem" fields and press Ctrl+F11 to lock them. (Ctrl+Shift+F11 will unlock them again) Cindy Meister INTER-Solutions, Switzerland http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister (last update Jun 8 2004) http://www.word.mvps.org This reply is posted in the Newsgroup; please post any follow question or reply in the newsgroup and not by e-mail :-) |

Error! Bookmark not defined. HELP!!
I've created an index swith about 1000 entries. At five or six of the
entries "Error! Bookmark not defined" appears and gets printed in the output. Should I delete the entries and reenter them?

Error! Bookmark not defined. HELP!!
Fear Johnm,
It is indeed an index, which I am constantly updating through addition and deletion of entries. At last check there were seven instances of " Error! Bookmark not defined". I globally deleted them with Find-Replace. I then regenerated the index, and there are the seven right back. Word help says that I have a page reference for a bookmark that I've deleted. I don't use bookmarks, never have. I don;t ahve a Table of Contents, nor do I have headers. Qumranandy "John McGhie [MVP - Word and Word Macinto" wrote: No, just regenerate the Table of Contents (I think that's a Table of Contents you are dealing with, not an Index). Click in the TOC and hit F9. In ToolsOptionsView turn Field Shading to "Always" so you can see what you are doing...

Oh, damn! I guessed wrong :-)
That error is most often seen in Tables of Contents. Look up the Help topic "Field codes: XE (Index Entry) field" As you will see, an XE tag can include a \r to conflate the page numbers when the same XE tag appears on a range of pages. Seven of your tags are expecting a bookmark, which doesn't exist. You will need to search for the content of the XE tag (because you don;t have a page number to find it with) and remove the "\r" switch from each of them.

Error! Bookmark not defined. HELP!!
Dear John,
There isn't an /r at any of the entries, but there is one case of it in the file-composition itself. When I was first going through the file and marking all the Bible verses - and there are tons of them - I got sloppy in my fingerwork and sometimes saw /r pop up. I deleted it each time, but I guess it's stuck invisibly. qumranandy "John McGhie [MVP - Word and Word Macinto" wrote: Oh, damn!
