Bookmarks in HTML links in Word 2003
Greetings,
I am using Word 2003 now (2000 up to now) and I am finding that when I: select text in a source document that contains bookmarks; swap to my target document; select 'Edit' | 'Paste Special' and 'HTML Format' & 'Paste Link' - I end up with the nice html formatted hyperlink as I did in 2000, but now, the bookmarks from the source document show up [] in the link *and* they have been copied to the target document as real bookmark entries (i.e. show up in the Bookmark list ('Insert' | 'Bookmarks')). This never used to happen. Please tell me there is a way to stop the bookmarks being copied over when the links are being created. Also happens if I update an existing link by the way. These are Word 2000 format documents I'm having problems with but it also seems to happen with new documents created with 2003. PS Turning 'View Bookmarks' on / off in the source / target documents didn't help. Removes the problem from view but doesn't affect the copy and paste link behaviour. PPS I assume Word 2000 might have done this too - but they were always 'hidden bookmarks' so I never saw it? Thanks all. |

Hi ?B?QW5keUJlYXI=?=,
Am I not already discussing this with you in another group? This is probably a result of the new Security considerations Microsoft was looking at when designing Word 2003. In this case, making sure you know that there's linked information in the document. I am using Word 2003 now (2000 up to now) and I am finding that when I: select text in a source document that contains bookmarks; swap to my target document; select 'Edit' | 'Paste Special' and 'HTML Format' & 'Paste Link' - I end up with the nice html formatted hyperlink as I did in 2000, but now, the bookmarks from the source document show up [] in the link *and* they have been copied to the target document as real bookmark entries (i.e. show up in the Bookmark list ('Insert' | 'Bookmarks')).

Hi Andy,
To add to Cindy's reply, if you turn on the 'show paste options' button in Tools=Options=Edit and after pasting select the paste button icon at the end of the text selecting either 'Destination formatting' or 'Keep text only' should copy the text without the source document bookmarks. ========== "AndyBear" wrote in message ...

Just FEI:
The 'Destination Formating' option doesn't remove the *OLE* bookmarks. The 'Keep Text only' option does removes the bookmark(s) but also breaks the link - i.e. turns the pasted link into plain text, so wasn't a suitable option (as I am trying to form links to another (source) document as part of the operation). Thanks. -- "May the Word be with you."
