Hyperlinking to external docment bookmarks

P

Ploni

The scenario:
A.doc has
link1 {HYPERLINK "B.doc" I\ "bk_1"}
link2 {HYPERLINK "B.doc" I\ "bk_2"}
link3 {HYPERLINK "C.doc" I\ "bk_3"}
link4 {HYPERLINK "C.doc" I\ "bk_4"}

In A.doc if you:
click on link1 it opens B.doc and goes to bk_1.
click on link2 it goes back B.doc BUT STAYS ON bk_1
click on link3 it opens C.doc and goes to bk_3.
click on link4 it goes back to C.doc AND goes to bk_4.

C.doc has the desirable behavior, B.doc does not.
What is the difference?
How do you make B.doc act like C.doc?

Document [B.doc] doesn't appear to have a [bk_2] Bookmark.

Oh it does have a [bk_2] Bookmark.
If I close B.doc and then click on link2 it opens B.doc and goes right to
bk_2.
And if I then click on link1 it it goes back B.doc BUT STAYS ON bk_2.

The point is, B.doc has lots of bookmarks and I can go to any of them upon
first opening B.doc, but not on susequent references unless I close B.doc
before making the next hyperlink clik. This is only a problem for hyperlinks
from outside of B.doc. Internal B.doc links are fine.

C.doc is very similar to B.doc, but it does not have these problems. Why
can't I get consistency out of Word?
