Error! Bookmark not defined. HELP!!

[Barb]

Hi...
I know I've seen this problem before, but when I did a search I couldn't
find anything so am submitting it myself.

I've created a document that has a TOC at the beginning and Index at the
end. However, when I print it, I get the message "Error! Bookmark not
defined" where my Fields are for the Index. I've gone in (several times) and
Searched & Replaced to remove them, but they keep 'popping up'.

What am I missing?

As usual, this is such an informative group and I really appreciate the
suggestions!

Thanks....

Hi =?Utf-8?B?QmFyYg==?=,

I'm not quite sure... but in order to locate the fields to delete or lock them,
press Alt+F9 to toggle on the field codes.

If you're currently seeing what you want to have print, select the "problem"
fields and press Ctrl+F11 to lock them. (Ctrl+Shift+F11 will unlock them again)

I've created an index swith about 1000 entries. At five or six of the
entries "Error! Bookmark not defined" appears and gets printed in the output.
Should I delete the entries and reenter them?

No, just regenerate the Table of Contents (I think that's a Table of
Contents you are dealing with, not an Index).

Click in the TOC and hit F9. In Tools>Options>View turn Field Shading to
"Always" so you can see what you are doing...

Fear Johnm,
It is indeed an index, which I am constantly updating through addition and
deletion of entries. At last check there were seven instances of " Error!
Bookmark not defined". I globally deleted them with Find-Replace. I then
regenerated the index, and there are the seven right back. Word help says
that I have a page reference for a bookmark that I've deleted. I don't use
bookmarks, never have. I don;t ahve a Table of Contents, nor do I have
headers.

Oh, damn! I guessed wrong :-)

That error is most often seen in Tables of Contents.

Look up the Help topic "Field codes: XE (Index Entry) field"

As you will see, an XE tag can include a \r to conflate the page numbers
when the same XE tag appears on a range of pages.

Seven of your tags are expecting a bookmark, which doesn't exist. You will
need to search for the content of the XE tag (because you don;t have a page
number to find it with) and remove the "\r" switch from each of them.

Cheers

Dear John,
There isn't an /r at any of the entries, but there is one case of it in the
file-composition itself. When I was first going through the file and marking
all the Bible verses - and there are tons of them - I got sloppy in my
fingerwork and sometimes saw /r pop up. I deleted it each time, but I guess
it's stuck invisibly.
