StyleRef field in Microsoft Word header getting cut off

Hello,

This is a recent bug; Microsoft is aware of it. Make sure you have the most recent release of Office. One workaround has been to add spaces after the StyleRef field.

The people who can make changes to Word seldom, if ever, read anything that is posted in this help forum.

You can use the Feedback mechanism in Office or post directly to UserVoice to let developers know what you want.

Hello Mr. Kenyon,

thank you so much for your response.

My Microsoft Word version updated and I ma currently using the latest version for Mac(Version 16.46). Therefore, I don't think that that might be the problem.
Additionally, I added spaces after the StyleRef field (as such: {STYLEREF "Heading1\*MERGEFORMAT"}) in vain. The thing is, in some pages the header is fully written and in other pages it is cut off half way through.

I am very desperate and have no idea how to proceed nor how to fix it.

Is there are other solutions available?

Regards,

Marie

I am confident the bug is the problem. This has been reported over the past month by a number of users, most, but not all on Macs. Sample document with the problem?
