I Bookmark my index items and my index related content then I
hyperlink them both ways example

index

Item 1
item 2

..
..

Body of the work
content 1
content 2
..
..
.

So that if I click on content 2 it will return me to item 2 and if I click on item 2
it will take me to content 2.

to do this I have been using hyperlinks.
so it takes two hyperlinks for each..

works great in all 32 bit writers I know about, but in my ubuntu 16.04 using
5.1.4.2 build 1.5.1.4.-Qubuntu1 it is not smooth.. sometimes the hyperlink
works sometimes it does not work. sometimes the hyper link
looses the hyperlink text and some it loose s the target book mark.

I think the problem is in the bookmark..somehow entries there become corrupted?

I have several item 1 type entries there that cannot be deleted or edited out or used by the
hyperlink

I need these messed up entries out of my bookmarks o be able to make smooth in sequence my work.

There is some instability somewhere..

How do I edit the corrupted entries from bookmarks

thanks

Hi Fudmar,

I do the same with a table of contents in Ubuntu 16.04 with LO Writer
5.1.4.2 and it works fine.

The dialog box for entering the link details is extremely laborious
using a mouse and if after selecting the bookmark you don't click
'apply' and then 'close', sometimes you may find you didn't get the
right info entered into the 'target' box.

As for deleting bookmarks, that is easy. Just click the bookmarks icon
(the star) (or use Insert > bookmarks) and the 'Insert Bookmark' dialog
box will show you a list of all bookmarks in the document. Highlight the
one you want to delete and click the 'Delete' button.

You can also check whether the links are correctly formed by
right-clicking on the link, select 'Edit hyperlink' and in the dialogue
box, check whether the target info corresponds with where you want to go.

Fudmer:

There are many known bugs in the handling of bookmarks and indexing, but you
might want to read the contents of BUG# 74026 to see if any of the
procedures there helps.

It's located at https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=74056

Be sure to read the entire sequence of postings, as things are continually
changing. The procedure I described there (using an .fodt output) is not the
one already posted here (using an .xml output), so perhaps between the two
of them you'll be able to find something that works for you.

You might also see if checking View>Toolbars>Navigation or even the Sidebar
Navigator (they're different) gives you any help moving to where you want to
go. I don't use these much as they often take me to unexpected places for no
reason I can fathom, but check them out; maybe they've improved.

Good Luck...
