Viewing Bookmark Markers

[Bert]

Hi,

I am wanting the make word display these markers when the document is opened, as i need to make sure people do not delete the bookmarks and that they enter the necessary text in the right area.

Its mostly that people will not remember how to turn the option on and I would have to show alot of people how and why to do this, making it built in will be much easier for all involved

Thanks for your help

Hi Bert,

This setting is not document-dependent, so you're at the mercy of how the users choose to run Word. You could add a Document_Open macro to the document to try to enforce that view, but that might aggravate people when they find it affects other documents too. In any event, they can easily prevent your macro from running - which they'll likely do as soon as they find it changing settings they don't want changed.

If you want to restrict what users can do, you'd be better of setting the document up formfields as a protected form or, if you're using Word 2007 or later, with Content Controls.
