Graham,

I had actually considered the bookmark approach based on some articles I saw on using hyperlinks to open a document to a particular place in a document. Unfortunately, the documents exist already and do not have bookmarks. Also, in my hyperlink experiment on a test document with a bookmark, while the hyperlink opened the document, it did not move to the bookmark. Not sure if that is the result of some policy issue.

Another avenue I started pursuing was do a text search for the section number to reach the TOC. The figure out how to "Ctl-Click" to jump from the TOC to the desired section. But that seems like a kluge.

It amazes me that heading numbers for an open document are not available programmatically. For a comment extraction tool I tried getting heading numbers and could never find a programmatic source.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Don
