Word doc assistance

by Kim Standerline

Hi guys,

I'm writing a word doc, and I want readers to be able to click the link in the contents page so they are taken straight to that page.

I have absolutely no idea how to do this, or even what its called so I can look it up. Is there any clever people out there who could point me in the right direction

Thanks
Kim

    Kim, you create hyperlinks just like you would with URLs except they are
    called bookmarks.

    You go to insert bookmark and then pick what you want to bookmark and
    where you want it to go to when it's clicked on.

    ** EDIT ** After you create the bookmark, you then insert the hyperlink
    and use the bookmark you created as the destination point.

    If this isn't clear enough, let me know and I'll print out a step by step
    thing for you.

      If you insert a MS Word table of contents the default is for the page numbers to be hyperlinks. Don't go inserting book marks all over the place - you'll go mad.

      I can't check the exact steps to follow as I don't currently have access to word - a recent automatic update needs the original disk. Unfortunately I have no idea where the disk is :-(

      Hyperlinking from the table of contents has been a standard feature of MS Word since Office 97.

          Okay, here's the step by step.

          I'll use a very simple illustration. Adapt it to what you need.

          Step 1 - On page one I will type my table of contents entry. I'll call it
          intro

          Step 2 - On page two, I'll type my title for the page. I'll call it Introduction

          Step 3 - I'll highlight Introduction and then go to insert bookmark and
          create a bookmark there,

          Step 4 - I'll go back to intro on page one and highlight that. I'll then
          go to insert hyperlink and choose the bookmark I created as the hyper
          link.

          When you then click on intro it will take you to introduction.

          Hope this helps.
