Moving quickly through large Word documents
Hi!
Im creating an alphabetical list of movies that I have on DVD. Right now I have about 400 and the number grows daily. At the beginning of the document Id like to put the alphabet so that if you click on a letter (e.g. F) you can quickly go to that section having all my movies starting with F. Is such a thing possbile? Thanks. P.S. Im using Word 2007 with Vista Ultimate. -- nnicko |

Assign a bookmark to start of each letter in your document. Then at the top
of your document, add hyperlinks to the bookmarks. Yves "nnicko" wrote in message ... Hi! Im creating an alphabetical list of movies that I have on DVD.

Probably the quickest way is to make a style-based table of contents.
First define a new style with an Outline Level of 1 (I'm assuming you haven't used a Heading 1 elsewhere in the document). Insert a paragraph at the start of each section, type the letter of that section in the paragraph, and apply your style to it. Then insert a table of contents at the beginning of the document, and use the TOC option to limit the TOC to just Outline Level 1. The TOC entries are, by default, hyperlinked to the pages. Another possibility, but more work, is to use cross-references to construct the links. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
