The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 2.0, 2.0a, 2.0a-CD, 2.0b,
   2.0c
 - Microsoft Windows operating system versions 3.0 and 3.1
--------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When you update a reference to a bookmarked AUTONUMLGL field that is
formatted for the Heading 7, Heading 8, or Heading 9 style in Word
2.x, the following error will appear

   The document is too large for Word to handle.

and the system may lock, requiring you to reboot to exit the program.

This problem does not occur when you reference bookmarked AUTONUM or
AUTONUMOUT fields, or bookmarked AUTONUMLGL fields formatted with
Heading 6 style or lower.

STATUS
======

This problem does not occur in Word for Windows versions 1.x.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word for Windows
versions 2.x. This problem was corrected in Word version 6.0 for
Windows.

WORKAROUND
==========

When referencing bookmarked AUTONUMLGL fields that are formatted with
the Heading 7, Heading 8, or Heading 9 style, insert at least six
spaces after the second L in the AUTONUMLGL field before bookmarking
it so that the field appears as follows:

   {¬AUTONUMLGL      }

The added spaces in the field code will not affect the resulting
number and will prevent the error from occurring when you update a
field that references this bookmarked AUTONUMLGL field.
