External Link to MS-Word Bookmark

You should be able to insert a bookmark into an external link to an MS-Word document, and DOORS will open the document and jump to the bookmark. You should likewise be able to do so with a Hyperlink from Outlook to Word.

We cannot make these work. The document opens but stays at the top; if its already open it stays open but we get rude errors. Other folks with the same DOORS and Office versions (v9.2, Office-2007) can make it work. We suspect some Office-2007 or Sophos firewall/virus settings.

Any thoughts?

We have the right syntax: c:/Folder/Document.doc#BookMarkName.

Yes, there has been problems with those. IBM published this TechNote

and there was also discussion in LinkedIn DOORS group. But nobody actually had any proposal how to correct this problem.

Yes, I saw the tech note, summarized: "we don't know and we don't care since we don't support Office-2007".

What is "LinkedIn DOORS group"?
