Temporary fix.
Save the document to your desktop. Set up a MACRO that will take you to a certain point when the document is opened. If the document doesn't open to the right point. set up a MaACRO that you run right after you open the document.

Select the point in the document you want to open at and copy it.
Right click somewhere on your desktop and select Paste Shortcut -- Enjoy, Tony "Mani" wrote in message ...

How do I to make a desktop Word (2003 shortcut to a specific bookm
Thanks to Tony and Armadillow ... neither of these provides the fix I need.
I'm looking for a text string to put into the "Target" or "Start in" box in 'properties' that will open Word and the document and automatically take me to the latest location of a particular bookmark within that document. |

I don't know what you think you remember, but there isn't anything like that and -- at least as far back as Word 2.0c -- never was. All the startup switches for Word are listed at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=210565, and none of them take you to a specified bookmark. The closest you'll get with a command line is if the bookmark also happens to the be last location you edited in the document, and you use the command-line switch /mGoBack in the shortcut (in which case the Target command must also include the full path and name of WinWord.exe). Maybe you're thinking of how a Word document can be opened from a link in an HTML file. If you save this in a .htm file: html body a href="C:\someDoc.doc#startHere"click me/a /body /html and open the .htm file in a browser, the link says "click me". Click the link, and if the document contains a startHere bookmark, the file will open there. You can do the same with a hyperlink in one Word document opening another Word document. Just not with a desktop shortcut. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
