Susan does quite a bit of work with bookmarks in her documents. To help her do her work more efficiently, she would like to turn on/off the display of bookmarks without having to go to the Word Options dialog box every time.
This is rather easy to do using what is effectively a single-line macro:
Sub ToggleBookmarks() ActiveWindow.View.ShowBookmarks = _ Not ActiveWindow.View.ShowBookmarks End Sub
This macro can easily be assigned to a shortcut key or to a button on the Quick Access Toolbar. Either way, it toggles the setting of the bookmarks in the current window. (It affects only the current window.)
