Applies to: Microsoft Office Word 2003

{ PAGEREF Bookmark [\* Format Switch ] }

Inserts the page number of a bookmark (bookmark: A location or selection of text in a file that you name for reference purposes.

\* Format Switch

Optional switch that overrides the numeral style (style: A combination of formatting characteristics, such as font, font size, and indentation, that you name and store as a set. When you apply a style, all of the formatting instructions in that style are applied at one time.) selected in the Number format box in the Page Number Format dialog box (Insert menu, Page Numbers dialog box, Format).

\h

Creates a hyperlink (hyperlink: Colored and underlined text or a graphic that you click to go to a file, a location in a file, a Web page on the World Wide Web, or a Web page on an intranet. Hyperlinks can also go to newsgroups and to Gopher, Telnet, and FTP sites.) to the bookmarked paragraph.

\p

Causes the field to display its position relative to the source bookmark.

The string "on page #" is used when the PAGEREF field is not on the current page. When the PAGEREF field is on the current page, it omits "on page #" and returns "above" or "below" only.
