The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q211251 SYMPTOMSCase 1
When you reference a bookmarked table cell using a Formula field, Word
inserts an incorrect value.
Case 2
When you reference a bookmarked table cell using the Ref field, Word
inserts a table cell containing the correct value.
WORKAROUND
Use the appropriate method to reference the correct information in a table
cell or to use a value contained in a table cell in a calculation. Method 1: Bookmark the Contents of the Table Cell
Do not bookmark the entire table cell. Ensure that the end-of-cell marker is not selected when you set the bookmark in the table cell.
Use either a Formula or a Ref field to retrieve the contents of the bookmark. For example:
{= bookmarkname} or {REF bookmarkname}
Method 2: Bookmark the Entire Table
Use the Formula field to reference the appropriate table cell using the formula {= SUM(bookmarkname cell)}. For example:
{= SUM(table1 C3)}
