Hyperlink format for links within Word
Hi...
I am working on a document that I have setup Hyperlinks in that point to other sections within the same doucment. What I would like to be able to do is have it so that the "Text to Display" text includes the section number from the TOC and have it so that it updates automatically should the TOC be updated. In the example below "2.3.2 how to setup Hyperlinks" would be a Hyperlink to section 2.3.2 and if I was to update the TOC that Hyperlink would also update. e.g to see how it is done refer to section "2.3.2 how to setup Hyperlinks" Can this be done?

If you are using Outline numbering, and inserting hyperlinks to bookmarks of
headings, this should happen automatically. ******************* ~Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com www.MyExpertsOnline.com "Andrew" wrote in message ... Hi...

Anne,
I think I understand what you are saying however what I looking to do is have the title of the hyperlink update when there is an udpate. Not just where the link points. Currently when I add the title to the Hyperlink it is fixed. There is not any type of Field in it that would allow for an auto update of the section number. Unless I am missing somthing...

And they don't update now? What happens if you hit Ctrl+A, then F9?

Instead of using Insert | Hyperlink, use Insert | Reference |
Cross-reference, with the "Insert as hyperlink" box checked. This will insert a cross-reference that will update (when you update fields) and will be hyperlinked to the heading. -- Suzanne S.

Ctrl+A and F9 will update the TOC and all the sections with out issue.
However that does not update the title text on a Hyperlink. The location the Hyperlink points to is updated however the title is fixed and does not update. what I would like to do is make part of the title dyniamc so that it will update with a F9 update. Thus meaning that I do not have to work my way through the doucment to make any updates to hyperlinks. "Anne Troy" wrote: And they don't update now?
