SUMMARY

Using PAGEREF fields in conjunction with the special predefined bookmarks in Microsoft Word for Windows generates a "Bookmark not defined" error.

MORE INFORMATION

The PAGEREF field inserts the page number of a bookmark for cross-reference purposes; however, with the predefined bookmarks, the page numbers do not work correctly. These bookmarks are defined as reserved and do not display in the Bookmark dialog box. You can use these bookmarks with the Edit Go To command.

The special bookmarks include the following: 

   \Sel, \PrevSel1, \PrevSel2, \StartOfSel, \EndOfSel, \Line, \Char,
   \Para, \Section, \Doc, \Page, \StartOfDoc, \EndOfDoc, \Cell, \Table,
   and \HeadingLevel.
