Make bookmark text easy to identify
The bookmark pane is relatively small and often not wide enough
to display complete headings. Therefore, the more meaningful
text can be displayed in this limited space, the better.
You can shorten or omit insignificant or non-unique text at
the beginning of the bookmark (such as The, Chapter,
Appendix). For example, Chapter 3: Scanning
can be changed to 3: Scanning and Appendix B: Headers
& Libraries can be changed to B: Headers & Libraries).
This can be done automatically with the Remove redundant bookmark
start and Change bookmark start functions (Bmk Start
tab).
The Remove paragraph numbering function (Bmk Functions
tab) makes it easy to strip heading numbers from bookmark text
-- because multi-level numbering, particularly in lower-level
bookmarks (which have more digits and less space due to indentation),
may use a significant part of the bookmark pane.
You may have chapter numbers set up as separate paragraphs,
required by your document design. In this case you will either
have separate bookmarks for chapter numbers, or forego the chapter
number -- neither of which is desired. The Merge separate
number + title bookmarks function (Bmk Functions tab) will
automatically merge the chapter bookmark with the following title
bookmark, so that instead of two separate bookmarks, one saying
"3" (or "Chapter 3") and the next one saying
"Ensuring Consistent Color", you have "3: Ensuring
Consistent Color".
