Table of Contents Link
I created a table of contents at the top of one of my documents. Is there a
way to create a link on each table of contents entry so that when I click it, it brings me to that section of the document? Thanks for all assistance |

Table of Contents Link
The default settings for a TOC do this without further user interference.
CTRL+Click the TOC page number. If the TOC is not linking, toggle the display (ALT+F9) and ensure that the TOC entry has the \h switch eg { TOC \h \z \t "Title,1" } -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Granpoh wrote: I created a table of contents at the top of one of my documents.

Thanks for the response, but that totally confused me. Can anyone help me
practically? "Graham Mayor" wrote: The default settings for a TOC do this without further user interference. CTRL+Click the TOC page number.

Further to Graham's response...
If you're seeking means of of navigating the document even a hyperlinked TOC created by Word's Table of Contents feature has some shortcomings; once you go to another part of the doc there is no "jump-back-to-it" link automatically available nor does it enable you to go from one part of the doc to another without returning to the TOC itself. You might want to investigate the Document Map feature (assuming your headings have been formatted using Styles). In 2007 you'll find it on the View Tab as a checkbox, in prior versions look in the View Menu. Info is available through Help in any version that supports the feature.

Table of Contents Link
I couldn't figure out how to use the whole table of contents thing. Every
time I tried, it just messed my whole page up. Instead, I set bookmarks on the various headings throughout the page, then hyperlinked the "table of contents" list entries I manually created at the top of the document. This now pretty much fulfills my purpose. All I have to do is hit "ctrl-click" and it takes me to the chosen heading on the page. I would like to be able to work the document map better. How do I get it to where only my "bold-face" headings appear in the document map and not every little sentence I write. Thanks for all assistance "CyberTaz" wrote: Further to Graham's response...

If you are creating your table of contents manually, then you are creating
an awful lot of work for yourself. See http://www.ShaunaKelly.com/word/toc/CreateATOC.html -- Suzanne S.

Table of Contents Link
Everytime I try to use the table of contents feature, my whole page just
turns into a big sloppy mess. Maybe a table of contents is not specifically what I'm trying to create. This is an example of what I'm trying to do: Milk Bread Potatoes Plums Cupcakes Milk - Aisle 3 Bread - Aisle 4 Etc. This is only an example. I'm certainly not trying to create a shopping list through Word. But what I want to do, is be able to have a simple "guide list" (formerly referred to as a table of contents by me) that links to the item descriptions further down the document, without having to scroll through the whole thing looking for it. As previously stated, I've discovered a solution, but realize that using the document map may indeed be much easier. The only problem is I can't figure out how to only show my headings in the document map without having all the descriptions and random sentences showing as well. Thanks for all assistance "Suzanne S.

Well, that's an entirely different situation. For that you might want to use
tabs or a table. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/SettingTabs.htm and http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/TableBasics.htm -- Suzanne S.

they enable me to do? "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Well, that's an entirely different situation. For that you might want to use tabs or a table.

Right-Click in the Document Map Pane & select how many levels deep you want
to have displayed. (This may vary with version, but I still don't see that you've disclosed which version you're using.)

Table of Contents Link
They enable you to lay out text in tabular form. What you \described didn't
sound to me like a table of contents but more on the order of a tabular list. I now see the disclaimer about not trying to create a shopping list. A TOC should do what you want provided you've used headings consistently and want to have links to those headings or to the pages where they appear. Can you provide a better description of "a big sloppy mess"? From what you say about the Document Map, it seems that some of your body text may have acquired heading styles; see http://word.mvps.org/faqs/general/DocumentMap.htm (also http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/documentmap/index.html). -- Suzanne S.

That you only see yr bold headings may have to do with the fact that you have yr subheadings not set with a built-in heading style. Once you have assigned these styles to your "keywords" they will automatically pop-up in yr document map, as hyperlink. The TOC entries are hyperlinked by default, although you may have to activate them by CTRL+click as Graham pointed out (this depends on yr setting in Tools/Options/Edit, though). You can also create hyperlinks yourself - jumping not only to web addrsses but also to positions within yr document. If you followed a hyperlink in yr document, you can go back to the previous position by [Alt]+Left Arrow. I hope this clarifies the matter a bit, and doesn't add to further confusion .... -- Henk57 |
