a. The standard allows any integer for the colFirst and colLast attributes.
Word only allows non-negative 32-bit integers for the colFirst and colLast attributes.
This note applies to the following products: 2007, 2007 SP1, 2007 SP2.
b. The standard says that if colFirst or colLast is greater than the number of columns in the table or colFirst is greater than colLast, then colFirst and colLast should be ignored.
In Word, if colFirst is greater than colLast, then colFirst behaves as if it took on the value of colLast and if colLast is greater than the number of columns in the table, the bookmark includes no columns.
c. The standard allows any length string for the name attribute.
Word only allows strings of length at most 40 for the name attribute.
d. The standard says that if multiple bookmarks have the same name, the first bookmark shall be maintained, and all subsequent bookmarks should be ignored.
In Word, if multiple bookmarks have the same name, the last bookmark is maintained and all others are ignored.
