Table of Contents works perfectly, you can then view the Document Map and
links work very well, however, the Table of Contents is not sorted
alphabetically, hence the requirement for an Index.

If you create hyperlinks within the Index, and then update the field, the
hyperlinks are removed.

How do I do the same thing as Table of Contents with an Index that has links
to within the same document?

Cheers

You can't, unless you unlink the index field (Ctrl+Shift+F9) and then
create the hyperlinks. That will convert the field results to plain
text, which can't be updated. You win some, you lose some....

Many thanks Jay, this is not consistent or logical by design, maybe in the
future.

No version of Word has the built-in ability to create hyperlinked
indexes. But one of the regular groupies here has written a VBA
add-in that will create a hyperlinked index in Word. If you
would be interested in purchasing the add-in, go to
http://www.geocities.com/word_heretic/ and click on the link for
the Indexing Tool for more information.
