Link from one word doc to a specific header in another doc
I'm having difficulty linking from one word document section to another word
document header. Specifically I have a form template for some end users where they will be filling in some information. Because of the detailed information there is also an instruction guide that matches the form section for section. I'd like to allow the users to link directly from the form they are filling out to the exact section (heading) in the instruction guide. Any suggestions? -- Planner State of Ohio |

Link from one word doc to a specific header in another doc
Hi Patrick
I've been thinking about your problem ever since I saw your message and I've been 'dabbling' to see if I could find a solution for you ... I thought that one of the MVPs would have sorted you out by now, but it seems not. There's usually a way to work around a problem, and I love a challenge! I've come up with a couple of ideas so, if you're still having difficulty and would like my help/input, please post a message.

Link from one word doc to a specific header in another doc
Hi jem and Patrick,
I missed the first post in this thread -- sorry! Here's how: First, insert a bookmark at each place you want to jump to. If that place is in the same document as the form, it has to be in an unprotected section so the cursor can go there. Since you're linking to another document, this should not be a consideration. Next, follow the instructions at http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFl...nksInForms.htm to create a hyperlink in the protected form that will work, hyperlinking to one of the bookmarks. (Use the Bookmark button in the Insert Hyperlink dialog to create a hyperlink to the bookmark. You can do this whether the bookmark is in another document or in the same one. If your users have Word 2003, clicking the hyperlink will probably pop up a security warning. It you need to turn this off, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/829072. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org On Sun, 30 Oct 2005 03:03:01 -0800, "jem01354" wrote: Hi Patrick I've been thinking about your problem ever since I saw your message and I've been 'dabbling' to see if I could find a solution for you ...
