Making all of TOC entry a hyperlink to the heading
Hi
I notice that the page numbers in the TOC (and in cross-references too, of course)are the links to the heading. I was wondering a couple of things about this 1. Can I setip the formatting so that the numbers default to blue so that it is clear that they are hyperlinks and Can I set it so that the whole line in the TOC becomes an active hyperlink, not just the numbers? Thank you Phil |

Making all of TOC entry a hyperlink to the heading
In Word 2000 and above, the entire TOC entry is hyperlinked by default.
Although the Hyperlink character style *is* applied, this is not evident unless you unlink the TOC, because its display is suppressed (by some hidden MS magic). -- Suzanne S.

Making all of TOC entry a hyperlink to the heading
Hi. The only evidence I can see that it is an active hyperlink is that if you
hover over the number, you get a popup explaining how to make the hyperjump. I can color the number itself blue, although it seems I have to override each toc entry as I can't find a way to do a global update that would make just the number blue. I think it would be easier if the whole toc entry could be made a (blue) hyperlink rather than just the number. Well, I could make the toc entry blue easily enough, but that defeats the purpose if, as you say, the hyperlinking action is suppressed. Thanks Phil "Suzanne S.

Making all of TOC entry a hyperlink to the heading
That's just the way it is. Users just have to know that the TOC is
hyperlinked. If you really want to emphasize this, I suppose you could modify the TOC styles to be blue and underlined. -- Suzanne S.

Making all of TOC entry a hyperlink to the heading
Hi
That won't work by itself, because the largest portion of the TOC entry is NOT a hyperlink. Only the number is. To avoid users hammering futilely on the actual toc entry, only the number should be blue, the rest can be black. Is there any way to selectively highlight one element like that please?

Making all of TOC entry a hyperlink to the heading
In Word 2002 and 2003, the entire TOC entry IS a hyperlink by default. I
don't know of any way to format just the page numbers with the Hyperlink character style. -- Suzanne S.
