OLE Bookmarks added by cut-and-paste

[Brett Zamir]

Hello,

I was wondering if there were any way (besides manually deleting them) to
avoid the OLE Bookmarks being automatically added to a document when one
does a cut-and-paste operation?

Thanks,
Brett

This isn't supposed to happen, and it doesn't happen to everyone.

Do you have YouControl installed? Any other clipboard utilities installed?

Does it happen all the time? Current known triggers, aside from YouControl,
are copying and then switching to another application, while Classic is
running. Can you narrow down the circumstances under which you see this?
All user accounts? What version of Word and OS?

Do you really see it on cut? as so far it has only been reported on copy and
paste, I think, and paste is not always necessary.

(In my case, the cause is YouControl plus copy, but I just run a delete
macro frequently)

Here is a macro provided by a friendly poster here (Kristina Conceicao) that
will delete all OLE_Link Bookmarks for you, as those are the type that are
randomly generated:

Sub RemoveOLE_Bmarks()

Dim i As Long
For i = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Count To 1 Step -1
If UCase(Left(ActiveDocument.Bookmarks(i).Name, 8)) =
"OLE_LINK" Then
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks(i).Delete
End If
Next i

End Sub

If this is gibberish to you and you don't know what to do with it, see here:

We do have a clipboard sharing program...Not sure if it's that...I can try
that though, maybe, thanks!

Ironically, I used the clipboard sharing program to copy the macro you
supplied into the other computer with the problem... :)

Anyhow, thanks...
