I just want to know how to have an index that I can click or use key strokes

I know it isnt that difficult but I dont know what it is called to enable me
to use the help facility.
I'm not aware of any features in current versions of Word offering a
hyperlinked INDEX. :-(
This has been discussed over the years in various forums. The big
difference between a hyperlinked TOC and INDEX is, the target for the
hyperlink is very clear and unique in case of the TOC. For an INDEX, the
target is either not unique or the number of bookmarks may raise
dramatically. The following thread points this out:

IOW, you'd have to code it yourself or use an existing 3rd party
solution. I remember MVP Steve Hudson advertising for his site with the
slogan: "Want a hyperlinked index?"
Nowadays, his site can be found at:
