Hyperlink Return
I have a table of contents with each category hyperlinked to its' section.
Once I click on the hyperlink, how do I return to it, e.g. once I click on X and I go to X section, I want to click on a button to return to the hyperlink area (table of contents) |

If you have Word 2002 or 2003, you can add a Go To TOC button to the toolbar
using Tools | Customize (All Commands). -- Suzanne S.

G'Day Franklin,
As a more general solution: ViewToolbars Click on "Web" Use the "Back" button to retrace ANY (document) hyperlink jumps that you have made. (You can use "Forward" also). -- Regards, Pat Garard Melbourne, Australia _______________________ "franklinbukoski" wrote in message ...

Thank you for your response Suzanne. I added the button, I think, but how do
I make it do what I want it to do? Once I go to Tools, Customize, I get three tabs, Toolbars, Commands, and Options. What exactly do I do from here? "Suzanne S.

Thank you Pat, that worked fabulously! Is it possible to place an ICON on
each page, e.g. a pic/clipart image that a user can click on to always return to the table of contents as well?

G'Day again Franklin,
If you mean EXACTLY what you say, then Yes! Say you put a heading (not Header) on the TOC Page, above the TOC: Table of Contents Select it, then use InsertBookmark Name TOC (or whatever) Click Add to create a bookmark called (say) TOC - then you will see faint square brackets: [Table of Contents] You can now place any text (say): Back to Table of Contents anywhere you please on any page. Select it, then use InsertHyperlink At the left, click on Place in This Document In the main panel under Bookmarks, select TOC (or whatever you called it) OK You can copy this hyperlink, and paste it anywhere else in that same Document. CTRL+Click will return the reader to the Heading you first created. -- Regards, Pat Garard Melbourne, Australia _______________________ "franklinbukoski" wrote in message ...

On the Commands tab, select the All Commands category and scroll down to
"GotoTableOfContents." Select it and drag it to any toolbar. This will work for most TOCs, though I have found it does *not* work if the TOC contains entries based on TC fields. It is user-specific, however; adding it to your toolbar will not make it available to users unless you are creating a template and save the customization in that template. In Word 2000, when you click on a hyperlinked TOC entry, the Web toolbar is automatically displayed, and the Back button will go back to the TOC. Shift+F5 sometimes works (all versions), but both Back and Shift+F5 depend on the TOC being the last previous location of the insertion point. The advantage of the Go To TOC button is that it works at any time regardless of how much editing you may have down after clicking on the hyperlink. -- Suzanne S.

Another short cut to do the same thing is to hold down the Alt key and press
the left arrow key, that is equivalent to pressing a Back button. This works in browsers as well. No toolbar views required.

Suzanne - I have a similar problem. If I insert a hyperlink in the middle of
a page, then click the hyperlink, it takes me to my bookmark (or wherever) assuming it is same document. Next I want to return to the SPOT where I originally clicked the hyperlink. I used to have two simple arrows on my OLDER version of Work (97). Now with 2003 I cannot find it. Thanks "Suzanne S.

Hyperlink Return
I'm having a similar problem. I've created an index of hyperlinks to
bookmarks - but I didn't use the create TOC command. However the '"back to index" hyperlinks distributed throughout the document don't take me back up to the index.

Pat,
I figured out how to do this, but am having trouble getting the link to be active in a header....without having to click on the header. I want the link to the TOC to appear at the top of each page...I could do it manually, but my doc is quite long. Do you have any suggestions on how to activate the link in a header?
