Default Hyperlink to bookmark in Word 2007

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 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:

but supporting evidence would be helpful.

Thanks.
