There are a couple of options to work around this lack: There is no rename function built-in to Word. Is there a simpler or more effective way to rename bookmarks in Word documents? Is there a simpler or more effective way to rename bookmarks in Word documents? Or am I possibly using the Wrong Tool™ for this job? I have Googled around and seen several VBA scripts on the web such as in this question but as they effectively create a new boomark and delete the old one they create the same problem as above and are less than ideal. This isn't completely usable, especially in a large document where this bookmark is used multiple times. You then have to right click the field and point it back at the (now effectively renamed) bookmark. I am able to insert a NEW bookmark by selecting the same text and then deleting the old one but then you get this: There is no right-click to rename a bookmark and I cannot find any document property that will let me amend it.

This will then insert the text of that bookmark elsewhere in the document.Īs an example of why I do this: I often have a front page listing the document state and that information is then repeated in the footer, using a bookmark I can set up a link to that text and then simply insert that link in the footer and it will update automatically whenever I go to the print preview or update all fields in the document. You can create them by selecting the text and then going to the menu Insert -> Links -> Bookmark and assigning a name, then going to Insert -> Links -> Citations and selecting the bookmark to insert. I often use bookmarks in Word in order to create technical documents with internal links to citations and commonly used information that needs to be consistent throughout the document.
