Bookmarks
Hi, I am trying to use bookmarks to return to places in a document. I can go
from A to B and back to A. I can go from C to B, but then I end up back to A. I have given the location B two bookmark names and Word seems to recognize them as C will go to B and A will still go to B. BUT when C goes to B, B retains the A link. When I try to switch it, the change overrides and then I can go A to B to C or C to B to C. Why does it only recognize the second bookmark one way? And can it ever see them both so the return will work for both A and C? Thanks. |

Wow - That's a mouthful. I'm not sure I completely understand your scenario,
but I think your problem comes from having more than one bookmark applied to the same piece of text. Can you think of a solution that only uses one bookmark per location? That way the A bookmark always goes to A and the C bookmark always goes to C. "roborat" wrote: Hi, I am trying to use bookmarks to return to places in a document. I can go from A to B and back to A.

I think a diagram might have been more effective!
It is not my document, just one I am troubleshooting so I cannot really alter it. I do wonder why it recognizes the second bookmark for C (to B), because it that instance it is no longer B, it is B2, but will not recognize the link from B2 back to C. Thanks for the feedback though... guess I just cannot outsmart it! "Dave E" wrote: Wow - That's a mouthful.
