SUMMARY
If you remove an internal link in a document in Microsoft Word for Windows, the bookmark is not automatically deleted.

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

 * 1) Select text in a Word for Windows document and choose Edit Copy.
 * 2) Position the cursor in another location in the same document and choose Edit Paste Special, Paste Link to create an internal link.
 * 3) Choose Edit Undo Link, Edit Links Cancel Link, or select the link and press CTRL+SHIFT+F9 to unlink the LINK field.

The link is deleted from the document, but the INTERN_LINK# bookmark still exists in the Insert Bookmark dialog box. As you create more internal links, the INTERN_LINK# will continue to grow and will not reset back to INTERN_LINK1 even if you manually delete the bookmarks with the Delete button in the Insert Bookmark dialog box.
