Article ID: Q122231

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

SYMPTOMS

When you define a bookmark at the beginning of a new document or template, add another bookmark in the header or footer, and then save the document as a template, the bookmark at the beginning of the document is deleted. The bookmark in the header is retained.

STATUS

We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

Word provides a predefined bookmark for the beginning of your document. You can go to this position in your document by pressing CTRL+HOME. If you are writing macros, you can use the predefined bookmark "\StartOfDoc" (without the quotation marks) to refer to the beginning of the document.
