"Bookmark Tool" is intended as either a global or a manually loaded Word Add-In. It offers
a friendly user interface for doing everything the standard Bookmark
Dialog box will do plus much more. |
|
 |
|
The "Sort\Browse" section replicates the sort functionality of the
standard dialog with the added ease of clicking your way through the
collection of bookmarks using the browse button. Unlike the
standard dialog, using the browse button or by clicking on individual bookmarks
in the browser window directs Bookmark Tool
to automatically seek the location of the bookmark including any bookmarks located
outside the main text frame of your documents (the GoTo command in the
standard dialog doesn't do this). Note:
Use the "Refrush" button shown on the full screen view to deselect any
highlighted bookmark name in the browser. |
|
|
|
The "Delete" section lets you delete all bookmarks or selectivly delete
individual bookmarks.
You can choose to deleted just the bookmark or the bookmark and its
bounded text range. |
|

|
With the "Add\Rename Bookmark" section adding bookmarks is a breeze
and poka-yoke makes it nearly impossble to get all tangled up with the
buttons..
Just like in the standard dialog, you simply select text, type a name in the field,
and click "Add". Unlike the
standard dialog, Bookmark Tool resticts key entry to valid bookmark name characters, and alerts you if
you attempt to create a duplicate bookmark name. You can also use
this section to rename an to an existing bookmark. For the fast
and furious, the "Quick Mark" button instantaneously adds a sequentially
numbered bookmark at the selection.
A QuickMark button is available on both the Bookmark Tool main screen
and the Bookmark Tool toolbar. Note: The sequential number
"
QuickMarks" is derived from a incrementing number stored in a document variable named "quickMark."
The number increments each time a QuickMark is added to the
document and is only reset to 1 whenever all bookmarks (Quickmarks and
custom bookmarks)are deleted from the document using one of the Bookmark
Tool delete methods. Deleting bookmarks form
the document interface will not reset the sequential counter and existing QuickMarks are not
automatically resequenced when a QuickMark is selectively deleted using
either the document interface or Bookmark Tool.

With the "Write to Existing Bookmark Range" you can quickly convert
existing placeholder bookmarks to encompassing bookmarks or replace the
text range in existing encompassing bookmarks. |
|
|
|
The "View/Display" section replicates the View>Options>Show>Bookmarks
functionality and provides a toggle button to quickly apply and remove a
highlight to all of your bookmarks. |
|
The "Reposition Bookmark" section allows you to move an existing
bookmark. Simply select the bookmark in the browser and use the
spin buttons to shift the bookmark right or left, extend the right or left boundary,
pull-in the right or left boundary, or expand or contract the entire
bookmark range. |
|
|
|
The Bookmark Tool includes an interactive toolbar to facilitate starting and closing
the user interface. You can move the Bookmark Tool form out of
your way with the mouse or by using the "Show" and "Hide" buttons on the
toolbar to facilitate working back and forth between your document and
the Bookmark Tool interface. |
