Case 1
When you reference a bookmarked table cell using a Formula field, Word inserts an incorrect value.

Case 2
When you reference a bookmarked table cell using the Ref field, Word inserts a table cell containing the correct value.



WORKAROUND
Use the appropriate method to reference the correct information in a table cell or to use a value contained in a table cell in a calculation.

Method 1: Bookmark the Contents of the Table Cell
Do not bookmark the entire table cell. Ensure that the end-of-cell marker is not selected when you set the bookmark in the table cell.

Use either a Formula or a Ref field to retrieve the contents of the bookmark. For example:

  {= bookmarkname} or {REF bookmarkname}

Method 2: Bookmark the Entire Table
Use the Formula field to reference the appropriate table cell using the formula {= SUM(bookmarkname cell)}. For example:

  {= SUM(table1 C3)}



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
