If you delete bookmarks, any cross-references to them will break. If you're starting off with a document using the correct font settings, per their Style definitions, there shouldn't be any need to mess with them afterwards. The problems you're having with things reverting to gray/Calibri suggests the Style definitions that exist in the document have been overridden with hard formatting. That's just asking for trouble.

Thanks for that info. I got most of the styles working in the document (woo-hoo).

However, another problem reared its ugly head.

I have 27 fields that repeat throughout 15 pages. I created a table on the first page to input the data. The table uses bookmarks and cross-references to the bookmarks to populate the fields.

I used the code discussed above, and again here, to remove the bookmarks so I could delete the input page before saving the final document.

Unfortunately, without the bookmarks data seems to be lost when clicking Print. It saves fine. But, it changes to "Error! Reference source not found" when printing. Everything changes to that.

Code used:
Any thoughts on a way to convert so I don't lose all the final data? The bookmarks save me like 2 hours building the documents literally. But this part is a real downer because I have to have it saved for later use/review without my table.

Well, I did warn you:
Yes, there are ways around this but, frankly, I can't see what is achieved by deleting the bookmarks. Why not just leave them there and save your self the grief???
