WD98: ListNum Field Not Converted Saving to Word 6.0/95 (181040)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Word 98 Macintosh Edition
This article was previously published under Q181040 SYMPTOMS
When you convert a Word 98 Macintosh Edition document that contains ListNum
fields to Word 6.0/95 format and open the document in Word 6.0 (Windows or
Macintosh) or 7.0 (Windows), you see the following error in place of the
fields or numbers:
Error: Bookmark not Defined!
CAUSE
ListNum fields do not have an equivalent field in earlier versions of Word
and are not translated during conversion. The ListNum field is retained to
allow for round-trip conversions back to Word 97 for Windows and Word 98
Macintosh Edition.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem and prevent the "Error! Bookmark Not Defined"
message, lock the fields before you convert the document to Word 6.0/95
format. When you reopen the document in Word 97 for Windows or Word 98
Macintosh Edition, unlock and update the fields.
Word 98 Macintosh Edition
To lock a field, press COMMAND+F11.
To unlock a field, press COMMAND+SHIFT+F11.
Word 97 for Windows
To lock a field, select the field and press CTRL+F11.
To unlock a field, select the field and press CTRL+SHIFT+F11.
STATUS
