Fantastic. I have been programming, designing and developing software for over 20 years but needed this badly for the past several days and was almost pulling my hair on my head until now. Thank you so much!

[SmartHobbies]

The bookmarks got messed up in one of my templates, and I could not figure out how to get rid of the error messages. You gave a perfect explanation of how to set these bookmarks and references up the right way. Thank you.

Wonderful and soothing video to help me, thanks for that. Do you know of any way you can lock in these fields so that another author could change whats in the text without deleting the field setup?

[jehadyamin]

Great job. Thanks for sharing. Is there a way to add time to form? I mean enter time in a form.

[michaeloliveras]

Great video! Do you know if is possible to bookmark field of a form?

[trder]

great video. What are the advantages of this methodology compared to "Find and Replace All"?

[laurenhaythorne]

Your videos are so helpful! Quick question, are you able to do this with a drop down. Like bookmark a dropdown and then have it auto populate text later in the document based on your selection?

[randybarrett]

I tried a few other videos, and couldn't figure it out. I should have came here first:) Thanks

[kamelkgb]

Very interresting. I will see how to use this trick in the best way possible :)

[peterlejeune]

Thank you for this. I'm having an issue where erasing the content of a bookmark in order to change it causes the whole bookmark to be deleted. So if, like in your example, I try to change "Shawn" to "Burton, " the whole bookmark goes away when I erase Shawn, and I have to remake the bookmark. Do you know what might be causing this?

Quick question. I am a recruiter. I receive CVs in all different styles and fonts and layouts.
Is there a way that I can automatically rewrite CVs so they are in a standard format?

[lazyreviewssupport]

That's an interesting one 😎😎
Now I have a twist...😉😉
I created two names (name 1, name 2) in the document like your suggested (i.e. creating bookmarks) Its formatted with custom Style (All CAPS, Bold, 12pt Times New roman) '
I have created a table in the Header of the document.
In column 1 I want names to appears as *name1 vs name 2* . so I created cross references as suggested by you.
The contents of header needs to be displayed as 10pts Times new roman, italics, Regular.
As shown by you if we update field (or F9) after selecting the table in the header, it is only the default style formatting which is displayed, not the italics etc. Is there a work around so that the ref fields follow rules of the table formatting?

[lazyreviewssupport]

Can there be a different formatting for same bookmark at different parts of the 📄 document

[hivanezr]

Why this is not available in Outlook? Greetings from Spain ☺️
