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.
