SYMPTOMS
========

When you paste a selection that contains a bookmark as the first item in the
selection into a new document, the bookmark may be lost.

WORKAROUND
==========

To work around this behavior, make sure the selection contains some information
(for example, a space) before the bookmark. When you paste the selection, the
bookmark will be retained.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products that are
listed at the beginning of this article.

MORE INFORMATION
================

A bookmark is a location or selection of text that you name for reference
purposes. Word marks the location with the name you specify. Bookmarks are more
than placeholders; for example, you can use them to create and number
cross-references.
