[John Blight]

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.

[Stefan Blom[_3_]]

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?

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?

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?

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?

Something similar for me doesn't work.

What was the hyperlink url that worked for you? You say you were

Presumably it wasn't an http link?

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.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/210565

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 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).

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

one.

I can save the DOC as a PDF in Word 2007, and link to a page in that PDF,

An explanation and potential workaround are given he

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.

I know this is old but wanted to add some info not specified in the MKB article. Upgrading from IE6 to IE8 while still using office 2003 will also change the file association behavior. The same fix will listed resolves the issue.

You are right: THAT does not work (unless I remove the #test part). :-(

Thanks for the confirmation, Stefan.

I assume this is a glitch in Word 2007, rather than intended behaviour.

I am going to look for a workaround. If I find out anything useful, I will post
it.

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

The link is from a webpage to a Word document. Links in the form decribed by
Stefan do not work from a browser.

I do not think it is 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

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


I have been trying to find a way of opening a Word document at a bookmark
through command-line switches, but there does not 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 is not as accurate as linking to a bookmark.

I forgot that you got it to work in Word 2003 (which I have not tested).

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

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

I am going to raise it with Microsoft. If anything comes of that, I will post.

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.
