Hi Michael,

Are you certain the cross-references still exist as REF fields, and that the
bookmarks are still present? Are you certain the fields are not locked
(Ctrl+F11 locks; Ctrl+Shift+F11 unlocks)? (Open the original document to check
this).

If that's the case, are you sure the IncludeText field in the target document
has not been converted to plain text, or locked?

Which version of Word are we dealing with?

A problem has developed in with my Word links that I hope someone can help
me with.

I have a large set of documentation in Word format. There are a few chapters
that are included in more than one document. What I have done is create
these chapters as separate documents, and included them in the required
documents using { INCLUDTEXT "Chapter2.doc" }

So far so good.

Within the linked chapter (Chapter2.doc in the example above), there are
cross reference links to bookmarks WITHIN the same document - i.e.,
Chapter2.doc has cross references to bookmarks within Chapter2.doc

Until now this has worked with no problems - Chapter2 starts on page 15 in
one document, and the bookmark is on page 25; in another document Chapter2
starts on page 20 and the bookmark is on page30.

Today, when I opened the same document, all cross references within
Chpater2 are listed on the wrong page number - if Chapter 2 runs from pages
15-40, all cross references within Chapter2 point to page 40.

I tried updating fields and reinserting the linked document - no luck

Does anyone know how this error suddenly appeared, and how I can get rid of
it?
