TOE Page Numbers and Hyperlinks.
I am working on a long report for this guy (it's a work for food deal) and
it contains about 50 tables and a dozen or so of those tables extend beyond one page. He wants each table to have a title header row and a caption containing the label "Table # - The Title Text." The caption is located adjacent to the foot of the tables. No problem. He wants a Table of Exhibits and Tables with active hyperlinks to the tables. No Problem. Here's the problem. He wants the page number shown in the Table of Exhibits and Tables to reflect the table start page and he wants the hyperlink to jump to that page. Once this document is finalized it will be converted to PDF. That said, my first thought was to place dummy caption text at the foot of the tables and hide the real caption text either as hidden text above the table, a colored text that matched the table heading in the table heading, or as white text in a 1 point paragraph above the text. The hidden text wouldn't work. Hidden text apparently isn't picked up by the TOE field. The other two methods were both functionally acceptable, but there was not way to eliminate the grey field shading of the caption SEQ field if a user (like me) uses the option to always show field codes. What I finally decided on was to place a bookmark in the table header, convert the hyperlink field in the TOE for that table to hard text (CTRL+SHIFT+F9), manually set the TOE page number, select the line of text and add a hyperlink to the bookmark, reselect the line of text and reapply the TOE style to the line. This seems to work, but I was wondering how others might have dealt with this issue. Thanks -- Greg Maxey/Word MVP See: http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/word_tips.htm For some helpful tips using Word. |
