MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

The bookmark designation is lost when text is moved with the mouse.

This problem was corrected in Word version 6.0 for MS-DOS.

Workaround
As a workaround, move the bookmark with the keyboard instead of the mouse.

Steps to Reproduce Problem

 * 1) Select a portion of text and use the Format Bookmark command (appears on the screen as “bookmarK”) to attach a bookmark.
 * 2) With the text still selected, point the mouse to another section of the document, press the CTRL key and click the right mouse button to move the text.
 * 3) Use the Jump Bookmark command to jump to the bookmark text. The bookmark no longer exists.

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
