DOCUMENT:Q179341 13-MAY-2002 [word97] TITLE :WD97: On Exit Macro Jump to Unprotected Section Fails PRODUCT :Word 97 for Windows PROD/VER:WINDOWS:97 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:kbdta kbdtacode kbwordvba kbfield word97 ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Word 97 for Windows ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== When you use an On Exit macro for a form field to go to a bookmark in an unprotected section of the document, the insertion point goes to the beginning of the section, not the bookmark location. WORKAROUND ========== Microsoft provides programming examples for illustration only, without warranty either expressed or implied, including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability and/or fitness for a particular purpose. This article assumes that you are familiar with the programming language being demonstrated and the tools used to create and debug procedures. Microsoft support professionals can help explain the functionality of a particular procedure, but they will not modify these examples to provide added functionality or construct procedures to meet your specific needs. If you have limited programming experience, you may want to contact a Microsoft Certified Partner or the Microsoft fee-based consulting line at (800) 936-5200. For more information about Microsoft Certified Partners, please visit the following Microsoft Web site: http://www.microsoft.com/partner/referral/ For more information about the support options that are available and about how to contact Microsoft, visit the following Microsoft Web site: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;EN-US;CNTACTMS For more information about how to use the sample code in this article, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: Q173707 OFF97: How to Run Sample Code from Knowledge Base Articles To work around this, add an additional text box after the form field that you want to cause the jump to your bookmark location. With that text box, assign either of the following Word Visual Basic for Applications procedures as an On Entry procedure Sub WorkingGoto() ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("bookmarkname").Select End Sub -or- Sub WorkingGoto() Selection.Goto What:=wdGotoBookmark, Name:="bookmarkname" End Sub where "bookmarkname" is the name of the bookmark in the unprotected section of your Word document. To make the added text form field less visible, set the maximum length to 1, and then remove the bookmark name in the Text Form Field Options dialog box. NOTE: These code samples do not work in an On Exit macro when the bookmark is in the unprotected section of the document. If the bookmark is for another form field, the code works as an On Exit macro. STATUS ====== Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
