Grouping bookmarks

[Botkyrka; a part of Europe]

Hi,

I have a lot of bookmarks that refer to:
- acronyms
- references
- others

it would be useful if I could group these bookmarks.

My ussage is: ....see xxx on page yyy.
and with a click jump to page yyy.

Perhaps there is a more efficient method to do this?

Best regards
Georg

One method I use is to create various char styles, eg glossary. I
apply this using find and replace or manually, then use a macro to
convert all of these to x-refs back to the entry in the glossary table
or whatever.

Another method is to use prefixes on your bookmarks:

Gloss_Fabbo
Gloss_Maggie

Acr_TDK
Acr_MVP

My usage is: ....see xxx on page yyy.
and with a click jump to page yyy.

I also use "see xxx on page yyy" a lot. In the name of the bookmark, I
indicate the group. It helped me a lot when using fields that point to
bookmarks. You could use bookmark names that start with a tag identifying
the group; for example, AcrNATO, AcrHUD, RefOthello, RefBeowulf, RefIliad
(if Refs and Acrs are your grouping categories). Word often lists bookmarks
alphabetically (such as in the GoTo or InsertField dialog box), so starting
each bookmark's name with a tag indicating its group will cluster them
together. Simple and maybe obvious, but it could be helpful.

Hi Jay,

thank you for the hint. That's what I'm using.
I thought I missed something...
