Default can a hyperlink be in a header and still work?

I thought that might be it. There's a built-in command that goes to the
table of contents, and you can assign it to a toolbar button. See
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Custom...oToToolbar.htm for
the procedure. The command you want is in the All Commands category of the
Customize dialog, with the command name GoToTableOfContents.

Thanks Jay....the hyperlink points back to the table of contents. It
doesn't need to be a header but I am trying to insert the hyperlink
to the top of each page in an existing Word document.

It still "sort of" works, but first you have to open the header area
(most easily by double-clicking in that area) to be able to click on
the hyperlink. That's too much trouble, so almost no one bothers.

What does your hyperlink point to, and why does it need to be in a
header?
