Default TOC & Return

Hi all,

****f-F5 works great and is pretty useful. Now I'm curious about another
little goody that I doubt exists, but ... if one doesn't ask, then one never
knows; right? g

Word 2002:
Have a Document with a TOC which is made from Headings, specifically Heading
styles 1 thru4 . It's about 3 pages long as this is an all text document
promising to surpass 500 pages. It's 485 pages now and quite a ways to go
yet.

This is an annoyance that's bugged me for a long time:

Is there a simple way to jump back to the place in the toc you came from?
In other words if I click on a toc line in the third page of the toc, and
say it takes me to page 400, is there any easy way to provide a link that'll
take me back to page 3 of the toc?

A link to "top" sort of works but isn't very convenient when you really
wanted to go back to page 3 of the toc. I know I could manually, say, page
1 of the toc covers pages 1 thru, say 100, and for those 100 pages,
hyperlink back to that page, but ... that's pretty crutty if the document
should get changed/rearranged at all; it's worse than the alternatives so
far, IMO.

So ... any other ideas or little tricks I'm maybe not aware of?

Any Word 2007 users out there care to pipe in? To date I've had no reason
to switch from 2002, but ... maybe this could be the first one.

TIA
Pop`
