newbie question- bookmark dialog shows OLE_LINK
I inherited a document with a bunch of bookmarks and within the bookmark
dialog, there is OLE_LINK1 and OLE_LINK2 I deleted all the bookmarks but although I know what OLE is (object linking and embedding) I'm not sure what these links refer to in this document (the "goto" button is disabled when selecting either OLE_LINK) so I'm not sure if it is safe to delete them. My goal is to clean up the document, then bookmark each "chapter" and turn this into a template so that I can use VBA to create each new document and delete the "chapters" (e.g. set bookmark contents to "") that are not relevant to each new report. Thanks! Keith |

newbie question- bookmark dialog shows OLE_LINK
If you copy text (or any content) from a Word document and paste it into,
e.g., PowerPoint or Excel, this may generate an OLE_LINK bookmark that surrounds the copied text in Word. It is difficult to find out whether these OLE_LINK bookmarks serve any purpose. Maybe they were meant to be used if there is a link between the copied and pasted content, however, they often appear after a €śnormal€ť copy and paste. I have deleted such OLE_LINK bookmarks in several documents and never experienced that it has caused any problems (actually, I use a macro to delete them). However, in situations where you have content linked to other documents, you may need to be more careful. -- Regards Lene Fredborg DocTools - Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation - add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "Keith" wrote: I inherited a document with a bunch of bookmarks and within the bookmark dialog, there is OLE_LINK1 and OLE_LINK2 I deleted all the bookmarks but although I know what OLE is (object linking and embedding) I'm not sure what these links refer to in this document (the "goto" button is disabled when selecting either OLE_LINK) so I'm not sure if it is safe to delete them.
