Deleting a Bookmark

Summary: If you no longer need a previously defined bookmark, it is best to simply delete it. This tip explains how you can get rid of those unwanted bookmarks. (This tip works with Microsoft Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, and Word 2003.)

After working with a document for a time, you may discover bookmarks that you no longer need. As you delete text that contains a bookmark, the bookmark is automatically deleted. However, if you want to explicitly delete a bookmark, you can follow these steps:

Select the Bookmark option from the Insert menu. Word displays the Bookmark dialog box. (Click here to see a related figure.)
Select the name of the bookmark you want to delete.
Click on Delete. (The Cancel button changes to Close.)
Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each bookmark you want to delete.
Click on Close.
