How do I get a longer bookmark name when adding a form field?

J

Judi

Word document.
Insert a form field.
Double-click of form field for definitions.
Under "Bookmark", attempt to enter 20+ characters. THIS IS THE PROBLEM!
Need more than 20 characters.

I update these form fields from a database agent using:
forall bookmarks in the book.
All has worked fine for several years, but I need longer bookmark names.

Hi Judi,

While in theory Word supports bookmarks up to 256 alphanumeric characters,
i've found that my form field bookmarks need to stay under 16 characters. If
you're populating from a database consider using a separate conversion table
to convert/reduce the length of the names.

GL!
