How do I get rid of book marks without getting rid of the enclosed text..
This may sound like an obvious question, but I have discovered a whole bunch
of bookmarks in a document that nobody seems to know how they got there. The bookmarks enclose large sections of formatted text and I afraid if I move the text I will screw up the formatting and have to redo large sections of text. Everyone of the bookmarks begin with OLE_LINK with sequential numbers following that. I am not sure if they harm anything, but they are in weird places and are probably the result of copying text from another document. I don't know if they will interfere with the Table of Contents which also uses bookmarks, hidden bookmarks to generate an accurate page listing. Can someone explain this to me? -- Henry Stock, Network Administrator onProject.com 3 Wing Drive Cedar Knolls, NJ 07927-1006 |

How do I get rid of book marks without getting rid of the enclosed text..
Hi Admin,
OLE_Link bookmarks were likely set when the text was paste-linked somewhere. If you were to select a table, then link that to an MS Graph, for example, you'd get an OLE_Link bookmark. So, the question becomes: is this document an important source of linked text to other files? If it is, I'd consider using Save As to create a new document and make your changes in that.
