Word 2000 - Hyperlinks in footer to TOC with out edit of footer
I desire to insert a hyperlink in the page footer that references the TOC.
It is easy enough, but Word requires that you double click the footer (activate edit mode) to activate the hyperlink. I saw a similar post from 10/28 with a resolution for word 2002 and above. I have 2000, and I didn't really understand the solution. How do you add a TOC button to the Hyperlink Toolbar? I fished around some with this and had no success. I built a workaround by putting a TOC Heading reference at the top of the TOC page so that the TOC references itself (not optimal. but finctional). That makes the TOC come up in the list of places that hyperlink will go, and indeed the hyperlink goes there nicely. Now, how do I activate the hyperlink without the double click to enter footer edit mode ? Any help will be appreciated. |

Word 2000 - Hyperlinks in footer to TOC with out edit of footer
The TOC toolbar button you are referring to is most likely the "Go to
TOC" button available in Word 2002 and later. There is no such button in Word 2000, so you'll have to use other methods. A simple method is to press Ctrl+Home on your keyboard; this moves the cursor to the beginning of the document, which is relatively close to the TOC (but it isn't exactly what you asked for, obviously). If you really need to link the TOC, I think it would be easier to insert a hyperlink below each heading in the document. If you have many headings, you'd have to insert a lot of links, of course. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "needyourhelp" wrote in message ...

There's no reason the heading itself could not be hyperlinked, with the
heading as the display text. -- Suzanne S.

Word 2000 - Hyperlinks in footer to TOC with out edit of foote
You are right, of course. It would certainly look better: no need for a
separate piece of text just for the hyperlink. I just thought it would be counter-intuitive to click the actual heading to get back to the TOC (unless a piece of text saying "Back to TOC" or something similar was included after the actual heading text). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Suzanne S.
