Thanks for the confirmation, Stefan.
I assume this is a glitch in Word 2007, rather than intended behaviour.
I'm going to look for a workaround. If I find out anything useful, I'll post
it.

You are right: THAT doesn't work (unless I remove the #test part). :-(

You're hyperlinking from one Word document to another?
Thanks for your help on this, Stefan. Could I ask you to try something
else
for me, please?
If you execute this url in your browser, does it work?
file://C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Stefan/Desktop/target.docx#test
Something similar for me doesn't work.

I'm using Windows XP too.

I've applied all Office updates and all critical updates, but there's
no
change in behaviour.
I can't link to a bookmark in a locally or network saved Word document
either.
I'm using Windows XP. Are you using a different version of Windows?

Thanks, Stefan.
Good point about the updates; I'm trying that now.
What was the hyperlink url that worked for you? You say you were
linking
to
a document on your local PC, so did that include an explicit file://
prefix?
Presumably it wasn't an http link?

In a quick test, hyperlinking to a particular bookmark seems to work

Note that I haven't tested with a Word document on the internet,
only
on my
local computer (which of course may be relevant).
Another thing to consider: Are you using the most recent updates
with
Word/Office?

I can hyperlink to a bookmark in a Word document if the document is
opened
in
Word 2003, where the link is of the form:
http://server/mysite/docs/mydoc.doc#mybookmark
However, in Word 2007, the document is opened at its top; the
bookmark is
ignored.
Could anyone confirm whether this is a known problem with Word
2007?
I
have
seen another instance reported:
http://www.tech-archive.net/Archive/.../msg00410.html
but supporting evidence would be helpful.
Thanks.
