Bookmark question

[Stuart]

With a new document, I insert one bookmark at the start of line1, and
another just after the middle of line1.

When I then enter some value against the 1st bookmark,
the 2nd bookmark is displaced to the right.

Can I 'fix' that 2nd bookmark, please?

Regards.

I'm not sure what you mean, or why you'd have two bookmarks so close
together, but if you attach the bookmarks to a word or phrase, it should
stay with that word or phrase, and move with it. Highlight the word or
phrase, and Insert Bookmark. Is that what you're doing or do I
misunderstand?

What are you trying to achieve? This sounds a very strange request and we
may be able to suggest some better ways to achieve this.

Not having used bookmarks before, I just had the idea in my head that they
were somehow tied to their insertion point in the document, and wouldn't be
displaced.

What I was actually doing was inserting a sequence of bookmarks to establish
some structure in the document, then going back and typing values against
them. That's when I discovered they moved.

Guess I need to type my values as I go along.

Regards and thanks.

OK. Understood. Good luck.
