The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c
  • Microsoft Word for Windows 95, version 7.0

SYMPTOMS

Incorrect formatting may appear in a cross-reference after you update the cross-reference if the first letter of the heading text being referenced is formatted in a large point size. Formatting on the first letter of the referenced text is applied to the entire first word where it appears in a cross-reference.

STATUS

Microsoft is researching this problem, and we will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND

To avoid this problem, do the following:

  1. Display the field code (ALT+F9) of the cross-reference.
2. Remove \* MERGEFORMAT from the field. 3. Press F9 to update the field. 4. Display the field result (ALT+F9).
