Thanks for looking at it Cindy,

If I remove the /p switch, I still get the wrong page number - it points to
the last page that the inserted text appears on, not the page that the
bookmark appears on.

Is this bug related to this version of Word, does it behave differently in
the latest version of Office?

Is there anyway that I can monitor whether Microsoft classify this as a bug
that will be fixed, and know whether a fix will be included in a future
patch?

Thanks again,

Michael

Hi Michael,

Chapter2.doc has 3 pages with a link on the first page to a bookmark on
page
3.
The link is {PAGEREF Heading2 \p \h"} and in Chapter2.doc displays the
text
"on page 3"

OK, now I understand how you're setting this up. This is different from
your
original problem description. I downloaded the file(s) and can see this
problem,
here. I class this as a bug, and I'll pass it up the
line. There certainly won't be a quick fix forth-coming, I'm afraid.
However...

If you remove the \p switch from the PageRef field you should get the page
number. Not an ideal solution, I know, but better than having to do it all
by
hand, I should think. If you really need the above/below option, you could
nest
the PageRef field in an IF field that tests if { PAGE } = { PageRef } and
displays "Below" if it does.

Hi Michael,

If I remove the /p switch, I still get the wrong page number - it points to
the last page that the inserted text appears on, not the page that the
bookmark appears on.

Did you try updating it a couple of times, consecutively? I had to update all
the fields in the document two or three times to get things to show properly.

In the meantime, a couple of people looked at this, with varying degrees of
success. It appears it's not only the version of Word (newer seems to have
more problems than older); not sure if the printer drivers, or Windows, or
what is also involved. In general, multiple field updates, or actually
PRINTING the document usually yielded correct results they report, even with
the \p switch still in the field.

Chances are good the problem will looked at for a future version of Office.

Is this bug related to this version of Word, does it behave differently in
the latest version of Office?

that will be fixed, and know whether a fix will be included in a future

Cindy,

Thanks again for the help - you're right that when I updated fields (CTRL+A,
then F9) several time eventually Word displayed the correct page number -
the problem is that as it's quite a long document, each update fields took a
long time and this doesn't seem like an ideal solution

Thanks again for your assistance - at least I now have the information I
need whether to continue using this method of inserting chapters or I should
look into alternatives.

Michael
