Deleting a bookmark

[Emptyfruit]

Strange thing. I'm trying to delete a "_GoBack" bookmark in a docx file, because it's ruining VariablePrepare (interesting, but different topic). I have a very simple template, and there is only one bookmark, which is:

Code: Select all

<w:bookmarkStart w:id="0" w:name="_GoBack"/>
<w:bookmarkEnd w:id="0"/>

It appears anytime i make a change in the template, in the place of the last change.
This code:

Code: Select all

MainDocumentPart main = docx.getMainDocumentPart();
List<Object> bmList = getAllElementFromObject(main, CTBookmark.class);
CTBookmark bm = (CTBookmark) bmList.get(0);
System.out.println(bm.getName());

gives me "_GoBack", so i'm sure that the bookmark is found correctly. But strangely if i do this:

Code: Select all

getAllElementFromObject(main, CTBookmark.class).remove(0);

the bookmark doesn't get deleted. To check, this code:

Code: Select all

System.out.println(getAllElementFromObject(main, CTBookmark.class).size());
getAllElementFromObject(main, CTBookmark.class).remove(0);
System.out.println(getAllElementFromObject(main, CTBookmark.class).size());

returns

Code: Select all

Should i use some other approach to delete a bookmark in docx4j?
