Update fields FUBARs my formatting!
When I "update fields" in my MS Word documents some cross-references
to tables and figures alter the formatting of the paragraph that contains them. For example, I update fields and the paragraph: "Blah blah blah Table 3 blah blah blah" becomes: "Blah blah blah Table 3 blah blah blah" -with many rows of blank space in the middle of my sentence. or alternately the entire paragraph becomes formatted as a Table caption. It's especially annoying when I try to print to a PDF, the fields atomatically update and my PDF has FUBAR formatting. Can anyone tell me what I've done to deserve this? Or how to fix it? (Please, don't tell me I need a Mac!) Thanks. |

Update fields FUBARs my formatting!
Hi Mark,
Your problem description indicates that the cross-reference bookmark has become corrupt. If the cross-reference is to a manual bookmark, re-select the source text then use Insert|Bookmark, choose the relevant bookmark name and click 'OK'. If the cross-reference is to an automatic bookmark (eg a heading-level paragraph), try deleting & re-inserting the cross-reference.
