can I apply a "return to top" hyperlink to all pages in a doc?
I'm working with a long Word document, and want to put a "return to top"
hyperlink onto every page. I've tried putting it in a footer, but as it's then in the background, it can't be clicked on. Is there any other way of repeating text in the same place on every page? I'm in Word 2002. Thanks. |

Word is an application for *creating* documents. It is not at its best as a
method for displaying them on them screen. You could create a macro that takes you to any point in the document, and assign that to a single keystroke; but why not just drag the scrollbar to the top?

It's quite a long document and is a training guide to be circulated to a
large number of users - I'm trying to make it as easy as possible for them to get back to the contents screen. Thanks though. "Jezebel" wrote: Word is an application for *creating* documents.

Perhaps you could insert a hyperlink at "key points" of the document,
for example, at the end of each chapter or section? This is not exactly what you are looking for, but it would certainly help people who read the document on screen. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "glitterbug99" wrote in message ...

Bad idea. If it's that big and that hard to navigate, don't distribute it as
a Word document. "glitterbug99" wrote in message ...

It will be a pdf but I wanted to get the links in first so they're easier to
convert! "Jezebel" wrote: Bad idea. If it's that big and that hard to navigate, don't distribute it as a Word document. "glitterbug99" wrote in message ...

Thanks Stefan - I'll try that, I think it's probably the most sensible
solution. "Stefan Blom" wrote: Perhaps you could insert a hyperlink at "key points" of the document, for example, at the end of each chapter or section?

You are welcome. However, note that if you are using Word's built-in
heading styles to format the chapter and section titles, and if you are creating the PDF with Adobe Acrobat (don't know how other PDF software works), links should be added to the Bookmarks window which can then be used for navigation. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "glitterbug99" wrote in message ...

Acrobat provides the bookmark pane precisely so you DON'T have to cludge up
your pages with superfluous navigation stuff. Don;t reinvent the axle. "glitterbug99" wrote in message ... It will be a pdf but I wanted to get the links in first so they're easier to convert!
