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 contains 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. To do this, press ALT+F9. 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}

NOTE: You can also turn field codes on or off by following these steps:

On the Tools menu, click Options.
On the View tab, select the Field Codes check box.
Click OK.

NOTE: A check mark in the check box indicates that the option is selected (turned on).

Method 2: Apply a Style

Instead of manually formatting the cross-reference field, apply a style to the field.
