Back button opens a new Read-Only document
The issue is only affecting one document, which is about 400 pages long. I use a lot of cross-references, so I have a Quick Access shortcut for the "Back" button to go back to my previous view before I clicked the cross-reference. For some reason, this document's Back button doesn't return to the previous view and instead opens a read-only version of the same document. Any ideas? Thanks.
hbear655 Did you use some code to cause the selection to move from the target of the cross-reference back to the cross-reference field? If so, what was that code? If you did not use code, how did you achieve it originally.

Doug_Robbins_Word_MVP - Thanks for your reply. If I understand your question correctly, you're asking how I was trying to navigate back to where I'd originally clicked the cross-reference? I use the "Back" Quick Access Toolbar button, shown here. (Please let me know if I've misunderstood your question though.)

shhb65 - I don't have a solution, but it resolved itself at some point.
I suspect it was an issue with how my company stores files... We have a network drive that's Read/Write and another where it's only Read. The Back button was opening a second Word document from the Read drive, instead of navigating in the Read/Write version I was working in. I don't think I changed anything to make it work.
Sorry to not have an answer; I know that's a frustrating problem to have. Good luck!
