Word 2003 bug in Toggle Field Codes (with GoTo bookmark & merged cells)

[Dan Williams]

Word 2003. Create a 2 x 2 table and put a field in one of the lower
cells.

Select the whole table.

Toggle Field Codes (Shift+F9) works fine.
_______________________________

Assign a bookmark to the whole table.

"GoTo" the bookmark.

Toggle Field Codes (Shift+F9) works fine.
_______________________________

Merge the top two cells in the table.

"GoTo" the bookmark.

Toggle Field Codes (Shift+F9) <<<<<<<<< NO LONGER WORKS.
_______________________________

Select the whole table.

Toggle Field Codes (Shift+F9) works fine.

It's very alarming to "upgrade" to Office 2003 and have my well-
established VBA code stop working!

Is there a list of known bugs somewhere?

Your well established VBA code should not be using the Selection object.
Use the Range object instead.

Is there some reason why I shouldn't have been using Selection?
(Other than avoiding this bug?) When I look up ToggleShowCodes in
Word's Help, the first example uses Selection:

Selection.Fields.ToggleShowCodes
