Default Sorting a Table of Contents

One way to do this manually is to bookmark the headings and then
create the "table of contents" by inserting cross-references to those
bookmarks. The list of cross-references can then be sorted
alphabetically.

Wish I could remember how I did it before. Must have used an Index

and then
manually linked each entry.

Thanks,

If you want something alphabetically, an index is what you want,

but no,
index entries are not hyperlinked (though many users have

requested this).
You can sort a TOC if you unlink the field first, but then its

entries
won't
be hyperlinked, either.

I was able to sort a Table of Contents alphabetically rather than

in page
number order once before (might have been an earlier version of

Word),
but
now Word says it can't do that. Is there a way to do this?

Or, is there an easy way to create hyperlinks to all entries in

an Index?

I'm using Word 2003 in XP.

thanks,
