I have some quirky behavior when I use the insert bookmark (ctrl-k) function.
I am using the 'places in this document' option for what to show as list
items to pick from. Sometimes I can single click inside the list and hit a
letter to quick-find that letter's start in the list (the first entry that
appears with that letter as the start), and sometimes when I do it, nothing
happens. What am I supposed to be doing to get this to always work (my list
is quite long, and so this is quite helpful)?

Thanks

Look into the Table of Contents feature which includes hyperlinks.

Unless you have changed the keyboard shortcut, Ctrl+K opens the Insert
Hyperlink dialog, not Insert Bookmark. Could that be part of your problem?

that's what I meant. I am trying to insert hyperlinks, and have to look into
the bookmark list (places in this document list) to find the places to
hyperlink to. Given I have tons of these marks in this particular 110 page
document, I need to find them quickly without scrolling. And the quick find
using first letter function selectively works. Just curious why it's
selective and on what basis.

Thx.

But the problem is that I need to include a link TO a hyperlink, and not all
in one place, but selectively throughout a document. In other words, I have
a table, where I'm writing comments about the document. I am trying to
reference certain places in the document as I write, and so have bookmarked
all those places, and now inserting hlinks to them all for text which I
highlight in my comments.

So are you saying there is a better way than:

1) highlight comment words from which to link
2) ctrl-k
3) find bookmark in list of "places in this document"

to go about doing what I described above?

And if not, then the question is still why I cannot, on select occasions,
click into that bookmark list, type the first letter of the mark I am looking
for, and have the list go to that point in the list.

Thx again if there's any more insight I'm missing.
