Default Cross-references and Outline View in Word 2003

That really is mysterious. I wonder if it could have anything to do with the
fact that you have this thread marked as "watched." ISTR that there is some
sort of bug concerning watched threads, but I can't find anything relevant
with Google, so probably I'm making it up.

I usually read NGs with read messages hidden, so I had to Show All Messages
and hunt for this thread; when I did, however, I saw all the messages in the
thread, including Lene's 11/16 one.

Suzanne,

Considering the number of boneheaded mistakes that I have made on this
newsgroup, you are quite right to assume that I cannot follow the thread

of
a simple conversation. ;-) In this isolated case, I am innocent. Please

look
at the attached PNG file and you will see a screen capture of my Outlook
Express 6 window. You will see that no message is displayed for November
16th by Lene Fredborg. I have searched on her name and other key words

such
as "outline" to no avail. The message is not there. I am sorry that you
cannot reproduce my problem with your install of OE6.

Anyway, Suzanne, thank you for pointing out my other, numerous, egregious
errors.

Thanks!
José

I'm not sure why you didn't see it, either; I'm using OE6 and did see

it,
but sometimes the way messages are threaded makes answers to the

original
post less obvious if a long thread has developed above them. Also note
that
Lene is female.

My apologies to Lene Fredborg who correctly answered my question. I

don't
know why, but his message (posted on Nov 16th) is invisible to my
installation of Outlook Express 6. See below for more details. Sorry!

When I use outline view to rearrange the order of headings in my

manuals,
it breaks my cross-references. In the following example, I want to

use
outline view to move Heading C above B without breaking a

cross-reference
to B that is under D. Follow me? Sorry, I'm trying to make this easy.

;-)
Please notice the square brackets around Heading B. They represent

the
bookmark used by the X-ref under D.

Heading A
Body text for A.

[Heading B]
Body text for B.

Heading C
Body text for C.

Heading D
Hey see "Heading B" for really neat info.

When I move C above B, C takes the opening bookmark with it. Instead

of
having a bookmark that points just to Heading B, it points to C, body

text
under C, and Heading B. The cross-reference to this bookmark now show

all
of this information.

Heading A
Body text for A.

[Heading C
Body text for C.

Heading B]
Body text for B.

Heading D
Hey see "Heading C
Body text for C.

Heading B" for really neat info.

Does anyone know how to avoid moving bookmarks when using outline

view
to
move paragraphs around? If not, don't worry about it. Currently, I

use
cut
and paste to avoid this problem.
