Cannot Link to Word Bookmarks from SharePoint Online
Dean_Gross that's out of my control at the time being. Do you think Word Online would cooperate better thatn 2010 if I could get the links to open there by default?

You need to talk to whoever provides you Office and get upgraded, there are going to be many annoying issues when you are using 2010 with O365.- Alex HenryOct 12, 2017Copper Contributor
Hi All,
I wanted to follow-up on this post as I have been upgraded to Office 2016, but am still experiencing the same issue.
Has anyone been able to find a way to link to different sections of a word document saved on SharePoint 2016? It's not feasible for me to continue breaking up a document into multiple sections everytime an update comes through.

I am having the same problem. I am using SharePoint Online, I have a PowerPoint slide that links to a bookmark in a Word document. It works fine if I open up the PowerPoint in PowePoint. However, I have the PowerPoint embedded in the home page and it does not recognize the #bookmark.
