Select a Field

  • Follow


I generate cross-references to bookmarks. I checked the Show bookmarks and 
Show Fields Always in Office button -> Word Options. When I select the 
cross-reference (either using the mouse or by Shift+arrow), the behaviour 
used to be that the whole field was quickly selected. Now I have to select 
each character individually. There is an option to select whole words but I 
find that feature annoying when I select parts of sentences. How do I restore 
the 'field quick select' behaviour?

In the Compatibility Options (Office Button | Word Options | Advanced--down 
at the very bottom), there is an option to "Select entire field with first 
or last character." Note that Compatibility Options are document-specific 
unless you click the Default... button.
