Hyperlinks in both docs work well, but files do not close after link followed
back to originating doc (table of contents). Is there a way to have the
secondary files close automatically when link followed back to table of
contents?

I have a table of contents hyperlinked to several individual policies in a
manual. The link goes from the table of contents to a particular policy, then
the return link goes back to the table of contents, but the files with the
return link stay open. I would like for them to automatically close after
being read. Is this possible?

Not using only hyperlinks, no. If you were to embed the links in MacroButton
fields, then write a macro to take care of things, that could work.

To embed a Hyperlink field in a macro button field, select the Hyperlink field then
press Ctrl+F9. This will place a pair of { field brackets } around the hyperlink.
Just to the right of the opening bracket { type: MacroButton NameOfTheMacro

You then need to create the macro. On word.mvps.org you'll find an article that
describes the code to use to follow a hyperlink in a macro button field:

http://word.mvps.org/faqs/tblsfldsfms/HLinksInForms.htm

Create this macro in the document (or in the template shared by all the documents)
and test. (Be sure to read the entire article!)

Once you have this working to your satisfaction, add the line to close the current
document at the end (just before the line End Sub):
ActiveDocument.Close
