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.
