Mike, this is a great idea, but how do you prevent "bookmark creep?" I
refer to this scenario:

1) Mark two words with a bookmark.
2) Create a reference elsewhere that draws in the bookmark text.
3) Edit the doc for several weeks.
4) Press F9 to update fields.
5) At the reference you created, not only the two words but various
unwanted text before and after them now appears.

I'd appreciate hearing your solution.

Thanks,
Jim

I use bookmarked chunks. Mark 'em once, use 'em multiple times.
