[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

I guess I really was reading between the lines. Correctly, as it turned out.

Actually, he didn't say "at the beginning"... I think you inferred that,
as well. :-)

I am creating a large document in Word. On the index page I want to
click on
a category that will take me to that certain spot in the document.
Can this
be done? I have searched help but can't find, probably not using the
correct
verbage, can you help please ???

If he responds, perhaps we'll discover whether this is what he wanted. I
suspect you're right, but it's hard to tell. Perhaps we'll find out what
he means by "category," as well.

To tell the truth I probably made an unwarranted assumption, but so many
users do refer to a TOC as an index that I really didn't even notice the
terminology since he said he wanted it at the beginning of the document
and the functionality he was describing was that of a TOC (and it wasn't
clear to me that he had anything on his "index page" yet).

It would appear a TOC is what he wanted since he sent me an email
thanking me for the link.

If you really mean an index rather than a table of contents, Word does
not hyperlink index entries. You could set this up manually by
inserting a bookmark at the location to which you want to be taken,
converting the index into hard text (Ctrl+Shift+F9), and inserting a
hyperlink to that bookmark in the "index". Depending on how long your
index is, this could be a very laborious process. The biggest problem
is that an index often refers to multiple locations in a document, and
a given bookmark can occur only once. Hence, for index entries with
multiple references in the document, you would have to pick one of
them or include a separate bookmark for each location you want
hyperlinked.

On the other hand, if you really mean a table of contents, then
Suzanne's advice will tell you what you need to know.
