This may sound like an obvious question, but I have discovered a whole bunch
of bookmarks in a document that nobody seems to know how they got there.
The bookmarks enclose large sections of formatted text and I afraid if I
move the text I will screw up the formatting and have to redo large sections
of text.
Everyone of the bookmarks begin with OLE_LINK with sequential numbers
following that.

I am not sure if they harm anything, but they are in weird places and are
probably the result of copying text from another document. I don't know if
they will interfere with the Table of Contents which also uses bookmarks,
hidden bookmarks to generate an accurate page listing.

Can someone explain this to me?
