Editing and deleting bookmarks
Initially, bookmark destinations are the view you are looking at when you create a
bookmark. Although you can set bookmark destinations as you create each bookmark, it
is sometimes easier to create a group of bookmarks, and then set the destinations later.
Once you’ve created a bookmark, you can change bookmark text, destination, or action
type at any time. You can also edit the appearance of a bookmark in order to draw
attention to it.
To edit a bookmark:
1
To edit a bookmark name, select the bookmark, click inside the text box, and type in the
new text.
2
To edit a bookmark destination, select the bookmark, and then (in the document pane)
move to the location you want to specify as the new destination.
3
Adjust the magnification. For more information, see
“Setting magnification options” on
page 99
.
4
Choose Set Bookmark Destination from the Bookmarks palette menu, and click Yes in
the warning dialog box. The bookmark is now set to the new location.
5
To edit a bookmark’s appearance, choose Bookmark Properties from the Bookmarks
palette menu, and select a color and text style for the bookmark.
