Word 2007 Table of Figures Hyperlinks
When a Table of Figures is created in Word 2007, the hyperlinks are hard
coded to the document's directory path and do not change when the document is moved to another directory or sent to another user. To solve this problem, you must save the document in Word 2003 format (.doc). The hyperlinks will then be correct and change with the document. The hyperlinks that are created when a Table of Contents is inserted seem to behave correctly in Word 2007. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

Word 2007 Table of Figures Hyperlinks
Select the whole Table of Figures, Shft+F9, what code do you see?

Word 2007 Table of Figures Hyperlinks
DeanH,
Following your advice, I get: {TOC \f F \h \z \t "Figure TR" \c}. The "\h" switch inserts TOC entries as hyperlinks, but there is no place to instruct the command to only refer to the current document. This switch only toggles hyperlinks on or off. The "\b" and "\c" switches look promising, but I can find no help on how to manipulate the TOC command for Word 2007, and only found info under Word 2003. The TOC command could stand some improvement and certainly needs better documentation. Tbert00 "DeanH" wrote: Select the whole Table of Figures, Shft+F9, what code do you see?

Word 2007 Table of Figures Hyperlinks
How did you create the figure captions? Insert, Reference, Caption, Figure
(or whatever the comparable 2007 instructions are)? The \f switch refers to "using TC entries instead of the standard outline styles" The \t switch refers to "using style names other than the standard outline styles". I do a lot of List of Figures and List of Tables, and as I use the Insert, Reference, Caption methods and then use Insert, Reference, Indexes and Tables, Table of Figures tab, and change the Caption Lable option as required my resulting List/table does not have the problem you describe. I don't know if 2007 is drastically different in this regard but I have not noticed any major problems with lists/tables created in this manner.

Word 2007 Table of Figures Hyperlinks
At least in some versions, there could be problems with hyperlinked tables
of contents if a "Hyperlink base" was specified in the Properties dialog box, but in a quick test I have been unable to reproduce that error in Word 2007.

You'll find the "Hyperlink base" box on the Summary tab.) -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "DeanH" wrote in message ... How did you create the figure captions?

Word 2007 Table of Figures Hyperlinks
Stefan,
I checked the Hyperlink Base property and nothing is specified for that property. To create my Table of Figures, I created a Quick Style and applied it to the figure titles, then created the Table of Figures based on that Quick Style. This was the same procedure I used to create the Table of Contents, and I have not had any problems with the TOC hyperlinks updating when the document is moved to another directory. The document was originally created in Word 2007 format, and if I save it in Word 2003 format, Both the Table of Contents and the Table of Figures properly update the hyperlinks when the document is moved to another directory.

Word 2007 Table of Figures Hyperlinks
I have been having the same issue.
Do you have your figures set to "above and below" text wrapping? I have noticed that when you set pictures to this, then add a caption, it is created in a box, and the links from the table of figures don't work. If you leave the wrapping as "in line with text" and add the caption it appears as normal text and the links work. |
