SUMMARY
In Microsoft Word for Windows, if you create a bookmark from selected text and later add text immediately to the left of the bookmark, the new text becomes part of the bookmark.

Steps to Reproduce Problem

 * 1) Create a new document, and type aaa1bbb2ccc.
 * 2) Select the number 1 from the example above. From the Insert menu, choose Bookmark, and name it b1. Choose the OK button.
 * 3) Go to the end of your document (CTRL+END). Press the Goto key (F5), type b1 on the status bar, and press ENTER.
 * 4) Use the LEFT ARROW key to move one space before the beginning of the bookmark. Type some new text.
 * 5) Move to another point in your document. From the Insert menu, choose Field, select Reference, and type b1 in the Field code box. This inserts a {Ref b1} field. The new text from step 4 is now part of the bookmark.

NOTE: This behavior does not occur if you type text to the right of the bookmark.
