Bookmarks are tricky and a bit fragile. It is relatively easy to destroy a bookmark. In addition, bookmarks can overlap one another.
Look at the pages under Working With Bookmarks here. Also here.
You can make bookmarks visible to help in adding within the bookmark.
Depending on how you are including the text for updating you could include headings. However, that is all you get - the headings.
What is your intention? What is it you are trying to do?
Might your need better be met by saving the parts as AutoText or another Building Block and incorporating in working documents using AutoText fields?

Hi Charles, thank you for your help.
I am going to try to explain a bit better what I want to achieve.
Let´s say that I have a master file where I want to list all my company´s customers and details on such customers (foundation year, number of employees, sales revenue...) So we have the "master file" and a separate file for each customer, let´s say "A", "B", "C".
Imagine that I have the following sections (bookmarks) for each customer "general information", "contact details" and "products we sell to the customer". Then, each section must be also in the master file. I could use the InsertText field or I could copy and paste as a link so each time I modify each customer´s file I get the same amended items on the master file. However, imagine that I add new products to the "products we sell to the customer" for each customer. Those new lines, will not appear on the master file. Perhaps, the only solution is to write a macro?
Thanks
