| Sep 3, 2015 at 22:18 | comment | added | DavidPostill Mod | @LePressentiment See the new question by Mokubai Renaming a bookmark in Word 2010. I've answered it. There is also an add-in which might do what you want. Please take a look. | |
| Sep 3, 2015 at 21:44 | comment | added | DavidPostill Mod | @MichaelFrank Exactly how I was planning to answer.... | |
| Sep 3, 2015 at 21:42 | comment | added | Michael Frank | @DavidPostill Workaround != Answer. I'm not saying the workarounds are incorrect, only that the answer should be "There is no way to edit the name directly. But you can do this or that to achieve the same result." Concise and direct is best. :) | |
| Sep 3, 2015 at 21:39 | comment | added | DavidPostill Mod | @LePressentiment What you want to do is not possible (in one step). Change the “name” of a bookmark not the text of it - "There isn't a rename function. You have to delete the old name and mark the range with a new bookmark name. Here's sample VBA code: ..." - yet another workaround. And see | |

| Sep 3, 2015 at 21:25 | comment | added | Michael Frank | I don't. And perhaps that's the answer? There is no way to edit bookmarks, you have to delete and remake them. | |
| Sep 3, 2015 at 21:24 | comment | added | DavidPostill Mod | @MichaelFrank Yes, of course I read it. It's a workaround for the problem ... do you have a better answer? | |
| Sep 3, 2015 at 21:10 | comment | added | Michael Frank | @DavidPostill I checked that post out as well. It's almost 10 years old, and doesn't actually answer the question. The only suggestion there is to delete and re-add the bookmark. Playing the devil's advocate here, but did you even read that result? | |
| Sep 3, 2015 at 15:40 | comment | added | user269574 | @DavidPostill I suspected that as your referent, but wasn't sure. Please see my updated OP. | |
| Sep 3, 2015 at 15:39 | comment | added | DavidPostill Mod | @LePressentiment Did you even do the search I suggested? The first link is Bookmarks - Changing name of existing bookmark | |

@Ramhound Besides the answer to your question is contained in the Word's help documentation : Where?
|
|
| Sep 3, 2015 at 15:36 | comment | added | user269574 | @DavidPostill To which link do you refer? | |
| Sep 3, 2015 at 12:11 | comment | added | Ramhound | @LePressentiment - I see no reason to salvage that question. It would only continue to receive additional downvotes and likely result in your inability to ask new questions in future. Besides the answer to your question is contained in the Word's help documentation | |
| Sep 3, 2015 at 7:38 | comment | added | DavidPostill Mod | Searching for "microsoft word edit bookmark name" gives the answer as the first result returned, so "This question does not show any research effort" | |
| Sep 3, 2015 at 6:32 | comment | added | Mokubai Mod | While the title does sum up the question pretty well it should not be the only information on your problem. You should summarise the steps to recreate your problem for those that do not know how to use the bookmarking features in Word. You should also put any useful information you have in your question. | |

| Sep 3, 2015 at 3:39 | comment | added | Michael Frank | You have multiple 1k+ rep accounts, you obviously understand how StackExchange works. As such, I'm sure you can see why this was a poorly asked question. I would suggest expanding the question here to show the mods you can ask good question and that this deserves to be reopened. | |
| Sep 3, 2015 at 3:31 | comment | added | random Mod | That's a pretty poor quality question right there. No chance at all for any information outside of links? | |
