From: LAC on 29 Mar 2010 16:52 Word 2007, Windows XP Professional: I'm trying to add a bookmark but when I type in the bookmark name in the bookmark name box, the Add button is greyed out. I'm not using any spaces. The place I want to bookmark is within a "table title" style but I didn't think that would matter. I even tried placing the cursor directly into the table and the "add" button is still greyed. Also, I deleted all the OLE_LINK bookmarks. The "add" button was available when they were there but when I tried to type in a new bookmark name it would turn grey. Am I missing something? -- LAC

From: Yves Dhondt on 29 Mar 2010 17:13 This might not be the problem here, but do you know that bookmarks have to start with a letter? If your first character would be a number or some kind of punctuation mark the "Add" button would be disabled.

From: SallyF on 29 Mar 2010 17:13 I don't know how to respond to these and have my response show up. Sorry. When adding a bookmark, the bookmark must begin with a letter and cannot have any spaces in the bookmark text. Hope that helps.

Well I'll be darned. For as long as I've been setting bookmarks I guess I had never tried to set one that started with a number. That's exactly what the problem was. Too bad MS Word help doesn't tell you that right from the start! Many thanks to you and Yves. -- LAC "SallyF" wrote: > > > "LAC" wrote: > > > Word 2007, Windows XP Professional: I'm trying to add a bookmark but when I > > type in the bookmark name in the bookmark name box, the Add button is greyed > > out.
