Bookmarks have two parts: the bookmark name and the descriptive text in angled brackets (<>). The entire bookmark is enclosed in grey square brackets ([ ]). To display the grey brackets, you must turn on all formatting marks, plus select the Bookmarks option on the View tab of the Options dialog box in Microsoft Word. This is important, because if you want to move a bookmark, you need to make sure that you select the entire bookmark.
Types of bookmarks
There are three basic types of bookmarks:
Single field: Bookmarks with a single piece of data, such as topic name, status, document ID, or creation date.
Multiple fields: Bookmarks with multiple fields, most often in a table. Examples include the Required fields table, Output table, and Table of Properties in the System Process Document, the Instructor Guide notes, and the table of Context IDs.
This type of bookmark also includes the bookmarks which insert the concepts for the modules, sections, and topics as well as the list and table of action steps, the table of attachments, the screenshot, and the table of glossaries.
Repeating: Bookmarks that contain definitions to allow insertion of multiple items, such as rows in a table or multiple attachments to a frame. These bookmarks may also contain table definitions, placeholders for graphics, and static text.
