Bookmark Quirks
Hi,
I am developing a Quality Management System with our OH&S manager and we are creating many word documents and are having a problem with bookmarks. When we open the navigational document and ctrl+click on a link it opens the second document fine, and navigates to it. However, pressing the back button on the Web toolbar (which successfully takes us back to the nav document) and ctrl+clicking another link to another bookmark inside the document does not go to the bookmark, rather it just gives the second document focus and does not change the cursor position. Also, when we create a link to an excel document and the excel document is password protected, the password screen is hidden by the word document leaving an hourglass on the screen (the user needs to change focus to the password window, and dismiss it in order to get control back). Is there any suggestions as to why these issues might be happening, or how I can resolve them? thanks Brandon |

That's a pretty tall order for most, I think, not knowing what
your expertise level is or how you've contructed the documents. I'll make some inline comments and maybe that'll help a little, dunno. One thing I do suggest though is a good read through Word's Help for Linking Wihin a Document, Bookmarks, and Relative Paths.

It sounds more like you have a problem with getting links to work. When we open the navigational document What is a "navigational document" exactly? and ctrl+click on a You can change the ctrl-click in Word's Tools Options so that simply clicking on the link will execute the feature. Tools | Options | Edit tab, second column about half way down. Uncheck that box. link it opens the second document fine, and navigates to it. However, pressing the back button on the Web toolbar (which successfully takes us back to the nav document) and ctrl+clicking another link to another bookmark inside the document does not go to the bookmark, rather it just gives the second document focus and does not change the cursor position. Every link must have a corresponding bookmark. Are you sure the corresponding bookmark exists in that same file? Also, when we create a link to an excel document and the excel document is password protected, the password screen is hidden by the word document leaving an hourglass on the screen (the user needs to change focus to the password window, and dismiss it in order to get control back). That sounds like an improper link: Rather than opening Excel and then the document, it sounds like you are linking directly to a protected file? If so, that's normal operation and you'll need to modify how you're doing that. Or, unprotect the document, which I understand possibly not being allowed. Is there any suggestions as to why these issues might be happening, or how I can resolve them? When you create links to a bookmark within the SAME document, as I think you indicated, did you use the correct Linkage? The Link should go to the bookmark itself, all you have to click on is the bookmark in the dialog box. e.g. if I have page.doc open, and there is a bookmark in it, I can go to either just that bookmark, or if I use the complete address, it must be of the format ...page.doc#bookmark. I'm probably causing some confusion, but there are so many things missing it's hard to guess what might be useful. Perhaps a demonstration would be useful, but keep it short: Do not post the entire document hereg. Describe, in particular, how: -- you create a bookmark, where you put it, and why you put it where you did. -- Exactly how you link to a bookmark that is located within the document, another document, and, if applicable, a bookmark in another document. -- And how you're positive that every link has a corresponding bookmark. Someone might be able to do more with that. HTH, Pop |
