From: Michael Broschinsky on 22 Mar 2010 11:40 I need to be able to quickly delete *all* bookmarks that might exist in a document. This is part of our procedure in cleaning up files we received from a number of different authors. We have just upgraded to Word 2007 from Word 2000. In Word 2000, I was able to use the macro found under Method 1 at: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/184041 I can't seem to find a similar article for Word 2007. I *have* found "Add or delete bookmarks at: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word/HP012265321033.aspx But this is a one-bookmark-at-a-time approach that I would *really* like to avoid if I could. I have also found "Frequently asked questions about hyperlinks in Word" at: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/291182 But this seems to speak to hyperlinks rather than bookmarks. Can I use the macro I used to use for Word 2000? If not, are bookmarks and hyperlinks essentially the same thing and can I use the approach at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/291182? Or is there another way? Thanks very much for your help, Mike

From: Michael Broschinsky on 22 Mar 2010 12:41 Not yet. Paranoia rules the day in my office. :) I really wanted someone to say, "It should work" before I did that. Don't know enough about macros, I'm afraid. But I'll try it now and see how it goes. Thanks, Yves! Mike On 3/22/2010 9:06 AM, Yves Dhondt wrote: > The same macro should work.

After Yves's subtle suggestion that I try the macro found at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/184041, I did so. The macro seems to work just fine! Thanks once again Yves!
