Thank-you Scott ... especially for the warning. You figure with such an
annoyance "feature" MS would made a correction w/o introducing another one.
So there really is no work around to this except to close the Word document
each time? Now i'll have to deliver the bad news to my customer!

Your description of the behavior when following successive links to
bookmarks in a Word document is exactly correct. Or, I should say, exactly
incorrect. This is a long-standing "feature" in Visio 2003 that is corrected
in Visio 2007.
Using Visio 2003, the only way to reliably connect to a series of bookmarked
locations in Word is to close the Word document in between following each
hyperlink.
In Visio 2007, the behavior is what you expect -- click a link, go to a
bookmarked location; click another link, go to that bookmark.
If you choose to upgrade to Visio 2007, be aware of one new "feature" that
will affect you if you use Office 2007 and IE7:

The gist is that for Word 2003 and IE 6/7, the default behavior on clicking
a web page link in a Word document is for the doc to open inside IE. With IE7
and Word 2007, the doc opens in Word NOT in IE -- but guess what? Links to
bookmarks in Word 2007 don't work.
