SYMPTOMS
If you define a bookmark whose name has one or two letters plus a number (such as BM1 or ZZ4096) and then insert a FORMULA field that performs a calculation using the bookmark reference, one of the following field errors may appear in place of the field result:
If the calculation is part of a FORMTEXT (Text Form) field definition, nothing happens when you update the Text Form field, and no result appears.
NOTE: The "!Error <bookmarkname> is not in table" error occurs if the FORMULA field is located in a table.
For example, if you insert and then update the following fields, the field error occurs in place of the FORMULA field:
{set BM1 1} {set BM2 2} {=BM1+BM2}
CAUSE
In a FORMULA field, Word considers bookmark names that consist of one or two letters plus a number to be table cell references instead of bookmark names. Cell references take precedence over bookmarks, so if the bookmark does not reference a valid table cell in the document, the FORMULA field yields an error instead of a result.
WORKAROUND
Change the bookmark name so Word no longer thinks it is a table cell reference. For example, change "BM1" to "BAM1", or change "ZZ4096" to "ZZZ4096".
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in Microsoft Word 97 for Windows and Word 98 Macintosh Edition.
