Bookmarks are not retained during Mail Merge
While browsing other items in NewsGroups, I found Bae
trying to do similar thing (Carry over bookmarks from main document to the merged document); Doug Robbins replied Bae that if the data source is Access, whole thing can be done with an Access report. I am using Excel spreadsheet as data source and performing mail merge in Word 2000. Thanks in advance Regards Latha -----Original Message----- Hi I wanted to know if its possible to retain the bookmarks during Mail Merge. If so how?? Regards Latha .

Bookmarks are not retained during Mail Merge
As the name of each bookmark in a document must be unique, they are not
retained when you create multiple copies in the document as you do when you execute a mailmerge. Tell us what the purpose of the bookmarks is and we may be able to tell you how to do whatever it is in another way. -- Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the benefit of others who may be interested. Unsolicited questions forwarded directly to me will only be answered on a paid consulting basis. Hope this helps Doug Robbins - Word MVP "Latha" wrote in message ...

Bookmarks are not retained during Mail Merge
Thanks for your reply Doug. I wanted to carry over the
bookmarks from main document to the merged document; The merged document should contain the same bookmarks from the main document. This main document is a template and any merged document should resemble main document. I am using Excel spreadsheet as data source and performing mail merge in Word 2000. I tried macro code to replace bookmark field with placeholder in the main document, perform mail merge (close main document without saving any changes), then in the merged document replace placeholders with the bookmark; that worked but the problem is placeholders exists in the sense any attempts to delete placeholder is deleting the bookmark. Please advise. Many thanks in advance.

Bookmarks are not retained during Mail Merge
Sorry for not answering your question before, Doug. The
purpose of the bookmarks is to keep the links from the main document. Hope I am clear, if not please let me know.
