The random blank lines would probably be empty paragraphs (or manual page
breaks) to which a heading style has been applied. You do want to take care
of those, as they'll foul up your TOC as well. See also
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/general/DocumentMap.htm (and

Document Map is just what I was looking for. There seem to be 'random'
blank lines interspersed with some of the headings in the list, but that
is just a minor curiosity. Thanks for your help.

Okay. The functionality you describe does not really exist in current
versions. If you press Ctrl+G and select Heading, you can go to a
specific heading, but Word doesn't provide a list of them. You have to
enter a number that represents the difference between your current
location and the heading you're trying for; that is, if you want the
fourth heading after the current one, you enter +4 (minus to go back). I
can't imagine that anyone would actually use that. Alternatively, if you
have the browse object set to Heading, you can click the browse arrows to
jump from one heading to the next (but all levels are included).

Your best bet, however, is the Document Map, which displays all your
headings. Click on one to go to it. This is a per-user setting, not
something that you can incorporate in a document you intend to share. If
you don't want the DM displayed all the time, you could assign a keyboard
shortcut to it; this would then answer your requirement to have something
that responds to a keystroke.

Suzanne,
Thanks for your reply and patience. I have created a TOC that contains
all my Heading 1 items, and it correctly updates changes, additions, and
deletions as intended. What I am looking for now is an easy way to jump
around my document from one heading to another. I would rather not have
to jump to the TOC and then to my destination (CTRL-click method) and I
do not want to have to manually create bookmarks that duplicate my
headings. Ideally, one keystroke would produce a list of my headings and
a single click on a heading in the list would take me to the place in my
document where that heading exists. I am probably not describing all
this with the correct terminology, but hopefully you can see the basic
idea. Thanks again.
George Pierce

I'm not sure quite what you're trying to do. To begin with, if you
insert a TOC, all the entries are already linked to the corresponding
headings. Then, if you want to insert a link or cross-reference to a
heading at some other point in the document, you use Insert | Hyperlink
or Insert | Reference | Cross-reference.

Thanks for your reply. Can you give me a bit more help on how to
navigate my document using the Headings that populate my TOC? Thanks.

Headings are automatically bookmarked for purposes of
cross-references and hyperlinks. In the Insert Hyperlink dialog,
choose "Place in This Document" to see all your headings listed.

Is there any way to make all my Table of Content entries into
bookmarks as well? I am looking for a way to quickly move between
sections that are titled with TOC entries. Is there a better way
than with bookmarks?
