Default how to link a page

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.
