Table of contents, web preview
Hi,
I have 2 word documents, both using the same .dot template, both have a table of contents, but when I convert them to the PDF (using 3rd party tool), one has the links in blue underligned, and the other also has the links, but they appear as normal text (which is what I want). If I go to the Index and Tables window, I can see that the web preview appears to have the links underligned in blue, and the other document doesn't, the again appear as normal text with linking ability. This tells me that some sort of setting isn't the same for both document, and isn't a pdf conversion setting problem. The option "use hyperlinks instead of page numbers" is checked for both documents, and that's what I want. All entries the ToC for both documents are styled as Hyperlink (and TOC 1). Does anyone know of any settings that could possibly be different in between these 2 documents, or if I have missed anything. Seems like one of those weird problems, losing my hair over it... I wish I could attach the documents, that would make it easier I think. Please let me know if you have had this sort of problem or if u need more detail, thanks a lot!!! sylvain. |

Table of contents, web preview
If "Use hyperlinks instead of page numbers" is checked, then the TOC field
will include the \h switch, which is what also results in the TOC entries (and not just the page numbers) being hyperlinked. This means that the entries have the Hyperlink character style applied, but it is suppressed, so you won't see the entries as blue and underlined *unless* you unlink the TOC. Assuming that your PDF settings are the same for both docs (you're creating tags for both), that shouldn't make a difference, but what you might try doing is changing the Hyperlink (and Followed Hyperlink) character styles in the document to Default Paragraph Font (without the blue color and underline). Another approach is to edit the TOC field. The "Use hyperlinks" setting actually results in two field switches. In addition to the \h switch, there is also a \z switch, and that's the one that is actually responsible for hiding tab leaders and page numbers in Web Layout view. You could remove the \h switch, leaving the \z switch. But then the TOC entries would not be hyperlinked (only the page numbers), which I imagine would make them useless in Web Layout view. -- Suzanne S.

Thanks a lot Suzanne, that's exactly it. If I change the settings of
the hyperlink style, then it won't appear in blue and underlined when the document is converted to a PDF. Sorry about the double post, wasn't sure where to post it. Thanks again, sylvain. Suzanne S.
