What do you mean by "bookmarks"? Can you describe in more detail what you're
trying to do / with which commands you're working?

Headings don't generate bookmarks. Nor is there such a thing as a "child
bookmark".

Are you trying to create a Table of Contents, and having trouble picking up all
your "headings" in the Table of Contents? Have you tried setting levels for the
style names you want to pick up by using the Options button in
Insert/Reference/Index and Tables/Table of content?

I am trying to define bookmarks from the insert menu - bookmarks ie i select
the heading and then create a bookmark for that heading. I am not tryng to
create TOC but only trying to give hyperlinks to headings in the document
which have custom styles. Yes i have tried giving levels for my styles but it
doent seem to work. As for child bookmarks if you see a PDF file in which
bookmarks are defined you can also see bookmarks under the top level
bookmarks which are known as child bookmarks

Actually, headings *are* bookmarked in a sense. Naturally, when you create a
TOC, _Tocxxxxxxxxx bookmarks are created, but you can also see something
like a bookmark if you use Insert | Hyperlink and select "Place in This
Document." There you will see a list of Headings and Bookmarks, and they are
in outline form, which is what I thought the OP was talking about.

Child Bookmarks in Acrobat are only sub-headings under a 'Parent' heading,
ie. a 5.1 under 5.0. etc.

I would not use Bookmarks for the exercise that I believe you are trying to
do. I would use the standard Heading styles as these will automatically
appear in the Cross-Reference tools to create the hyperlinks you want.

When you mention 'custom styles' for the headings you want to cross
reference, that is probably why they dont appear in the cross-reference tool.
Try using a Heading style instead, Heading 7, 8 and 9 are hand for these, or
creating a new Heading 1 or Heading 2 with slightly differing name (ie
Heading 1 new) and modify to match the format you want, then these will
appear in the cross reference tool for linking.

Then when you pdf, the bookmarks will automatically be created, Parents and
Children together.

Best of luck

Of-course you are correct with headings being 'bookmarks', didnot want to
confuse nemish by going into the 'can of worms' that is Word's 'Modus
Operandi'.
