WD97: Go To Bookmark Selects Entire Inserted Document (198076)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Word 97 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q198076 SYMPTOMS
When you use the Go To command (Edit menu) to go to the first bookmark
that
is contained in an inserted document, the entire inserted document is
selected instead of just the bookmarked text that you want.
CAUSE
The bookmarked text is at the beginning of the inserted document.
WORKAROUNDMethod 1: Add a Blank Line Above the Bookmarked Text
Open the document that is to be inserted, and ensure that the first
bookmarked text is not at the beginning of the document. To view the
bookmarks, follow these steps:
- On the Tools menu, click Options.
- Click the View tab.
- Select the Bookmarks check box, and then click OK.
Your bookmarks appear either as a large "I" or as large square
brackets ([]).
NOTE: You need to delete the first bookmark, add a blank line above the
bookmarked text, and then insert the bookmark again.
Method 2: Do Not Link to File- In a new document, click File on the Insert menu.
- Select the document that contains the bookmarks, and then click OK.
NOTE: Do not select the "Link To File" check box. If you select
this check box, your document will be inserted with an IncludeText
field, and you will have to use Method 1.
The document containing the bookmarks will be inserted as text, not an
IncludeText field. When you use the Go To command to go to the first
bookmark contained in the inserted file, only the bookmarked text will be
selected, not the entire inserted document.
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article. MORE INFORMATION
When you use an IncludeText field or when you select "Link To File", the
IncludeText field is selected when you use the Go To command to go to the
first bookmark contained in the inserted document.
