SYMPTOMS
When you update a cross-reference to the bookmark of a text form field
contained in a protected section, the resulting cross-reference text may
not be correctly formatted. This problem occurs when the following
conditions are true:
- Manual formatting has been applied to the cross-reference field.
-and-
- You have typed multiple words into the text form field.
NOTE: Only the first word of the cross-reference text will contain the
correct formatting. In Microsoft Word 98 Macintosh Edition, no words in the
cross-reference contain the formatting change.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, use either of the following methods.
Method 1: Modify the Cross-Reference Field Code
Once you have applied formatting to the cross-reference field, turn on the
field codes. The field code should resemble the following:
{ref Text1 \* MERGEFORMAT}
Change MERGEFORMAT to CHARFORMAT so that your cross-reference field now
looks like the following:
{ref Text1 \* CHARFORMAT}
To turn your field codes on or off, follow these steps:
- On the Tools menu, click Options (in Microsoft Word 98 Macintosh Edition, click Preferences).
- On the View tab, select the Field Codes check box.
- Click OK.
NOTE: A check mark in the check box indicates that the option is turned on.
Method 2: Apply a Style
Instead of manually formatting the cross-reference field, apply a Style to
the field.
