I created a userform using the instructions on your website: "How to create
a userform". It stated the following: "Create two bookmarks in your
template named â??Text1â?? and â??Text2â??. To create each bookmark, select a single
space so that when you turn on the option to see the bookmarks under
Tools>Options>View, the bookmarks appear as [] rather than |. When you create
bookmarks with a space selected like this, the text will be inserted inside
the bookmark, rather than after it.
You can then use a cross reference to the text of the bookmark if you want
the same information to appear in another location." Note the last sentence
regarding cross reference. Everything seems to work, however, when I create
a cross reference to any of the bookmarks, it does not seem to work. It
displays the name of the Bookmark. For example, if my bookmark is named
"Company_Long_Name" and then I create the cross reference, it displays: {REF
Company_Long_Name} and not the actual name of the company. Any suggestions
would be appreciated? I am using Word 2003 with XP Pro OS. thanks, Kerry

It sounds like you need to toggle the display of your field codes. Ctlr+a
(select all) then ALT+F9

Greg,
Thanks for the quick response. Unfortunately, this did not work. When I
select all and then ALT F9, it removes my reference altogether. Any other
ideas? Thanks

Kerry,

You send the feedback. I reply. You attach to your reply to the reply.
Sorry for the convoluted process, but I don't want to just post my e-mail
address here in this message.
