[AccessD] Word Automation

[Susan Harkins]

I've worked with forms and Access before and I don't remember having this
problem. I'm perplexed. 

I suppose Rocky, you could write a quick loop that resets all the bookmarks
at the beginning of each entry session. Seems easier than trying to come up
with a new strategy.
