 * charformat Switch Does Not Work After Saving as RTF

WINDOWS

Summary:

The * charformat switch in Microsoft Word for Windows is used to format field results with the character formatting of the first character within a field. When using a bookmark as a reference and the * charformat switch within a field, the switch may not work if you save a document in RTF format.

The “Ref” keyword is inserted as the first word in the field before the bookmark if you convert the file to RTF. Because * charformat uses the format of the first character after the ({), the field’s result is plain text.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in version 1.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
