Field codes showing Error Reference Source Not Found
I had posted this question back on March 20 on this board under the
subjectline: Ref field code gives Error - Word 2000 vs Word 2003. There seems to have been a flurry of activity on the board and it wasn't answered - I also think my subject line might have been too specific (or too weird). The knowledge level on this board is so much more advanced than some other places I have looked - so I would like to give this question another shot he I receive documents that are created by someone else. Occasionaly we receive a document that appears as follows in Word2003: Field code of: { REF _Ref93908553 \h } which appears as "Fig. 1" when the field codes are toggled. But when the document is opened in Word2000: { REF _Ref93908553 \h } is still the field code, but "Error! Reference source not found." is what appears in the document (The text of "Fig. 1" which is really what we want, but it is lost.) I know that as long as we stay in Word2003 I will be able to see the text desired - but we are primarily working with Word2000 and I need to know why we are getting the error with Word2000. It seems as though the field of "REF" is valid in Word2000 so I don't know why this won't work. From what I can determine, this may have to do with how Word2000 opens files vs how Word2003 may open them - something to do with protection and fields being reset. I am not sure.(?) I have been to the page on the WORD mvps site: http://word.mvps.org/faqs/macrosvba/...lfResetOff.htm and I am just not "getting it". Should I be turning protection on or off on FileOpen? Or am I on the wrong track? Thanks. - ANY help would be greatly appreciated. |
