Unwanted bookmarks on importing Word doc

[mr_scribbler]

I use RH HTML. When I import a word doc that I haven't written, I sometimes find, after import, that some Word headings have been created in RH as bookmarks within a topic, rather than as separate html files. The TOC has been created correctly but these spurious topics link to bookmarks rather than to single html files.

• I have mapped to Word headings using the import wizard's Split on Style page.
• There are no user-inserted bookmarks in the docuemtn.
• I have observed this in RH v5, 6, and 7

My workaround is to cut the offending sections from the Word doc, paste into Notepad, then re-insert this unformatted text back in the Word doc. Apply the necessary styles, then import to RH. This solves the problem, but it is time-consuming and I wondered whether anyone recognised the problem and had an easier solution.

Regards,

mike

There's a macro on my site that strips ALL bookmarks from a document so backup the document first.
