Hi,

I am trying to Merge multiple word documents into one final word document and in the process , i am losing all the bookmarks in the final merged document,that were defined in the indivudual source word documents used for merging.



Please let me know a solution as to how to retain or preserve bookmarks while merging multiple word documents.

Thanks in Advance.

The simple answer is that it is not possible to retain bookmarks through a mailmerge. That's because only one instance of a bookmark, pointing to a single location, can exist in a document and, as mailmerges generate multiple copies of a given 'location', that would invalidate the bookmarks.

Are we talking combining or merging documents here, or mailmerge? I agree with Paul that it can't work with a full mailmerge, that is, there is no way for the bookmarks to be in the final result document.
