 Last reviewed: February 5, 1998
Article ID: Q129496
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Internet Assistant for Word, versions 1.0, 1.0z, 2.0z
  • Microsoft Word for Windows 95 version 7.0
  • Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0a, 6.0c

SYMPTOMS

The <NEXTID> setting changes to "1" (without the quotation marks) after you reopen your HTML document.

CAUSE

You typed a value containing alphabetic characters or the number 0 (zero) for the <NEXTID> element. (To locate this option, choose HTML Document Info from the File menu, and then choose the Advanced button.)

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Internet Assistant for Word, version 1.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

RESOLUTION

Edit the HTML document as text only, add the <NEXTID> element within the <HEAD>...</HEAD>, so that it looks something like this: 

   <HEAD>
   <NEXTID N="z123"
   </HEAD>

MORE INFORMATION

The <NEXTID> element designates a unique identifier for your document that is generally used by automated HTML editors. This tag takes the form "z123" (without the quotation marks). It is placed inside the <HEAD> element.
