SYMPTOMS
When you paste a selection that contains a bookmark as the first item in
the selection into a new document, the bookmark will be lost.
WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, make sure the selection contains some
information (for example, a space) before the bookmark. When you paste the
selection, the bookmark will be retained.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
MORE INFORMATION
A bookmark is a location or selection of text that you name for reference
purposes. Word marks the location with the name you specify. Bookmarks are
more than placeholders; for example, you can use them to create and number
cross-references.
