Hyperlinks in protected document not behaving properly...
I have a word document, protected to allow form field completion, with hyperlinks to content within the same document. I bookmarked the destination and created the link and ctrl+click takes me to the bookmarked destination. When I protect the document ctrl+click takes me to the bookmarked destination for a quick second then jumps to the top of the very first page.
I set up a macro: Sub FollowLink() Selection.Hyperlinks(1).Follow End Sub and then updated my link: {MacroButton "FollowLink"{HYPERLINK \| "Framework_Stewardship"}} Still get the same quick peek at the destination bookmark and again am redirected to the top of the first page. Any ideas how to get this to work? |

When the protection means that you can't select text at the bookmarked destination why do you think you can get the cursor to go there by following a hyperlink?
You are going to have to change your approach with either the protection or the macro for the hyperlinks. Are you using Content Controls for the data entry? If so, I would select all and group on the Developer Tab to implement a 'poor man's protection' which will still allow selections (but not edits) outside of the CCs.

The alternative is to unprotect the destination. You can do that by inserting Section breaks before/after it and leaving that Section unprotected when you apply the 'filling in forms' protection.
