View bookmark – Word 2003

[Mary Ann]

Is it possible to display a bookmark once you have created one, so that you
know it is there? The Show/Hide or the shortcut to show field codes (Alt +
F9) don’t seem to display the bookmark. I know you can use the Go To command
to test it out o but this still doesn’t display the bookmark code.

Hi,

I would like to add to Dean's answer that if you create a bookmark without
selecting any text, the bookmark will exist, although it will not embrace any
text. In this case, it will be represented by an I-shaped symbol and not by
brackets.

Thanks Pesach
