An explanation and potential workaround are given he
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2003826

Thanks to Suresh Krishnan at Microsoft for that.

Note that at this time, the workaround included the instruction to "click
to
clear the Browse in same window check box". This is actually the default
configuration that causes the problem. The box needs to be checked, not
cleared.

Thanks for your efforts, Stefan. They're appreciated.

I'm going to raise it with Microsoft. If anything comes of that, I'll
post.

I forgot that you got it to work in Word 2003 (which I haven't tested).

Sorry, I have no further suggestions. I suspect you will have to use
the
workaround you've found (saving as PDF).

I don't think it's a security issue, Stefan.

Links of the form:
http://server/mysite/docs/mydoc.doc#mybookmark
file://C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Stefan/Desktop/target.docx#test

work when opening the document in Word 2003, so the behaviour seems
to
have
changed in Word 2007. Such links are

Links of the form:
file:///C:\\Documents%20and%20Settings\\Stefan\\Desktop\\t arget.docx

don't look like standard links to me. I've seen the use of '\\' as a
path
delimiter in C-based code, or in Windows Registry paths, but not in
web
links.


I've been trying to find a way of opening a Word document at a
bookmark
through command-line switches, but there doesn't appear to be a
suitable
one.

I can save the DOC as a PDF in Word 2007, and link to a page in that
PDF,
which isn't as accurate as linking to a bookmark.

I'm wondering if this could be a security setting, not necessarily
within

The link is from a webpage to a Word document. Links in the form
decribed
by
Stefan don't work from a browser.

Why do you need a workaround? If you use a properly formatted
link
(such
as
the one in Stefan's example), it works, right?

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.

Here's the hyperlink field code:

{ HYPERLINK
"file:///C:\\Documents%20and%20Settings\\Stefan\\Desktop\\t arget.docx"
\l
"test" }

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?

"John Blight" wrote:

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
for me.
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.
