In the previous version of Word, we would insert a book mark and we could see the actual book mark. For example, if you created a bookmark named, "book"...you could see that in word the word "book" in green italic, as long a you had the bookmarks unhidden.

Now, even if you have "see bookmarks" checked in the options, it just shows up as an I-beam thing. I have to run a macro called "Unhide bookmarks" to see the actual bookmark. Then, when I add an new bookmark, that remains hidden until I run the macro again! This is a real pain. Why can we just add a book mark and SEE it?
Then, hide them later if need be.
