RTF Bookmarks
Bookmarks are markers that are automatically placed in your rich text document when you generate it. You can create a master document in Word and link to sections of an Enterprise Architect report based on bookmarks. For example, a Word document might have a section for a small part of your component model. Using bookmarks you can generate a full component model, and then link into just one section of the report.
This way you can maintain a complex Word document from parts of Enterprise Architect reports. If you link into Enterprise Architect reports, then you can regenerate the report and refresh Word links to update the master document without having manually changed anything. For more information on refreshing links, see the Refresh Links topic.
Bookmarks are GUID-based numbers that can be created for packages, diagrams and elements. A package bookmark applies from the beginning of a package to the end, and includes all child packages and elements underneath.

Notes
| • | You cannot use RTF Bookmarking in Master Document elements, which effectively replace RTF Bookmarking in Word RTF Bookmarking requires each bookmark to be unique; when you generate a report with a standard RTF template (including in a single Model Document element), each bookmark is unique and there is a 1:1 association between the element details being generated and the elements in the repository As Master Documents are intended to contain multiple sub-documents, the association ceases to be 1:1; there is no simple method that enables the generated data to be uniquely identified directly in association with the original element |
