Word 2000: { REF bookmark } problem

[VBA Coder]

I have a Word 2000 Template where in my Footer I am using the "{ REF
CustAddress }" command to reference a bookmark that is set somewhere else
outside of the Footer sectopm. My problem is, my Footer section has the
font size set to 8, but when the document prints, the {REF CustAddress } is
displaying in Font size 12, which is the size of the font where my bookmark
is used in the main document. Why is the {REF CustAddress } in the footer
picking up the Font Size from somewhere else and overriding whatever font
size I have it set in the footer as (ie: 8)?

Solved it.

I was able to solve it by using the "\* CharFormat " switch. ie: { REF
CustAddress \* CharFormat }

That switch formats the entire field with formatting of the first field
character. See the MSDN article:
