The I-beam print.Text within a bookmark can be edited the same as text outside the bookmark. If you cut or copy a portion of the bookmarked text to a new location, the moved text is not bookmarked. If you add to the text within the bookmark brackets, the new text becomes part of the bookmarked text; if you delete part of the text inside the bookmark brackets, the bookmark remains with the remaining text. If you cut and paste an entire bookmarked item, including the bookmark itself, to a new location in the same document, the bookmark moves with the moved text; if you do not include the bookmark, it remains where it is in the document. If you copy a bookmarked item to another document, including the bookmark brackets, both the original and the new document will have bookmarks.

We have all used bookmarks at one time or another. We've dog-eared pages and even used sticky notes to mark where we have left off in a book. Word does the same thing in long documents. If you have bookmarked a paragraph or heading in your document, the next time you open the document you can use Goto to move to your bookmarked location. This is especially handy when you find that there are parts of your document that are constantly being updated. You can use bookmarks to jump in and out of those problem spots quickly. CK Note: Bookmarks are also one of the best ways to have text inserted in one place reflected elsewhere in the document -- or even in another document! You do this by insertion of a cross-reference to the text of the bookmark. Cindy Meister refers to this as the second mode of bookmarks -- not just holding a place in a document but holding content in a document.
