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.
WORKAROUND
==========
To work around this problem, use either of the following methods.
Method 1: Modify the Cross-Reference Field Code
-----------------------------------------------
After 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:
1. On the Tools menu, click Options.
2. On the View tab, select the Field Codes check box.
3. 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.
