Hi Richard,

I tried this setting both ways and it doesn't make a difference. Thanks for
the suggestion.

Is Create Named Destinations for All Paragraphs turned on? Grasping at
straws, I'd try turning it off to see if that prevents the paragraph from
getting its own destination, separate from the newlink destination. 

For the situations where the paragraph starts on one page and the newlink
within it is on another page, one possible workaround is the start a new
run-in paragraph at the newlink location. 

HTH!
