Hi Ricki,

Word sometimes does this if you copy text from one part of your document and insert it elsewhere in the same or another document,
especially if you paste the copied material as a link (eg via Edit|Paste Special). Cross-referencing, per se, has nothing to do with
it. There's no satisfactory explanation for why Word sometimes inserts these bookmarks when no linking is involved.

Cheers

I am working in Word 2003. I have a bookmark that I didn't create with the name "OLE_LINK1". Can anyone suggest how it got in the
bookmark list?

Thanks,

Ricki
