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/wo...265321033.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

The same macro should work. Have you tried it?

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!

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!
