Hi caddcop,

You could use a template with a suite of pre-defined bookmarks all assigned to, say, the start of the document's first page header (just to prevent accidental deletion). You could then select wherever you want to use one of these bookmarks in the body of the document, then use Insert|Bookmark to re-assign it as described earlier. The drawback is that Word won't readily show you which bookmarks have/have not been re-assigned or where they've been re-assigned to. If that doesn't meet you needs, you'd have to create and attach a useform to the document's template and have the code attached to the userform provide a list of available (unused) bookmarks from which to select. Even that is likely to be klunky to use.
