Default Problem: Word Index Updates Delete all Bookmarks

We have a document for our government agency that contains extensive
bookmarks which are also indexed with page numbers. Every year, when this
gets updated, the index updates fine with new page numbers, however, the
bookmarks then get deleted. Both are needed to satisfy all customers online,
but this creates a 3-day work event for one employee because she has to
totally re-create all bookmarks throughout all policies. Please include a
feature (or advise as to existing fix on this) that does NOT delete bookmarks
when indexes are updated.

Default Problem: Word Index Updates Delete all Bookmarks

There's no general reason why updating the index should delete bookmarks.
Where are these bookmarks placed, and what is their purpose?

Default Problem: Word Index Updates Delete all Bookmarks

These county-wide policies and procedures are indexed with page numbers for
the management who prefer to print out and not use the computer to navigate
around; this person also has to satisfy those who use the resource online and
has to accommodate bookmarks for every entry. This index has approximately
1000 entries which have to be re-bookmarked every time the index gets updated.

So are you saying that the index is hyperlinked to the bookmarks? That's a
different issue, and yes, when you update the INDEX field, those hyperlinks
will be destroyed. I don't know any way around that. A TOC on the other
hand, has hyperlinks built in.
