Julie, Here are some instructions on getting rid of bookmarks that came from a newsletter that has stopped publication. The newsletter was geared for mouse users, but I think you should be able to follow along okay. I'm sorry-I forget if someone told you how to create bookmarks in the first place. I don't use them as much as I should so can only go by memory that they aren't obtrusive when you are reading a document and hope someone who uses Word more often will correct me if this is incorrect. Anyway: DELETING A BOOKMARK After working with a document for a time, you may discover bookmarks that you no longer need. As you delete text that contains a bookmark, the bookmark is automatically deleted. However, if you want to explicitly delete a bookmark, you can follow these steps: 1. Select the Bookmark option from the Edit menu. (If you are using Word 97 or Word 2000, select the Bookmark option from the Insert menu.) You will see the Bookmark dialog box. 2. Select the name of the bookmark you want to delete. 3. Click on Delete. (The Cancel button changes to Close.) 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each bookmark you want to delete 5. Click on Close. Hope this helps, Margaret "Julie Warrington" wrote: thanks for the info. Is it easily removed? or if you didn't need to use the book mark you set up, does it effect your reading of a document? thanks for helping me understand. ----- Original Message ----- From: "thaovyngu" <thaovyngu@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, August 02, 2004 8:02 PM Subject: Re: dookmark in word > Yeah, say if you are reading, and have to stop.
