Appendix "pointing" to wrong appendix!
The appendices in my document are from A through U. I did not originate the
document, but have "adopted and grown it." When 'hovering' over the appendices, the standard window appears stating "Current Document - CTRL + Click to follow link." When I do this, I'm taken to Appendix N instead of Appendix U. Any thoughts? Thanks, Jeff |

Try regenerating the TOC. It sounds like new appendixes were added or old
ones renamed since the last update. PamC Henn9660 wrote: The appendices in my document are from A through U. I did not originate the document, but have "adopted and grown it."

Appendix "pointing" to wrong appendix!
I have tried this already, and while the TOC is regenerated (correctly), the
List of Figures, which is very large, is thrown totally out of whack and cannot be "manipulated" back. Do you know where [within] the applicable appendix (itself) the reference is written wherein the CTRL + Click is pointing? Maybe I could attack it that way.

Appendix "pointing" to wrong appendix!
Jeff,
If the TOC is being generated from the Styles used to identify the appendices - and it sounds like it is - then there's really no place explicitly within the appendix itself that identifies where the link in the TOC is pointing. It's all done "automagically" using the Styles and other arcane bits of functionality embedded within Word itself. In addition, it's not actually the appendix that's doing the "pointing". Rather it's the hyperlink in the TOC that carries this information, which is gleaned from information in the document as described above. This really cannot be edited directly. Toggle the field codes on the TOC and you'll get an idea of what I mean. However, it sounds to me like there's really nothing wrong with the TOC and the Word functionality that builds it; as you say, Pam's recommendation regenerates the TOC correctly, so no problem there. It's really the Table of Figures that's causing the problem, so ultimately, if you want to fix your TOC issue, you'll need to address the Table of Figures problem. Unfortunately, "thrown totally out of whack" doesn't really tell us much about what's happening, so I can't provide any advice on how to fix it. (For example, it would be useful to know how the Table of Figures is built, how figures are identified, etc.) However, I suspect that it's going to just be a matter of hard graft and making sure that everything is configured properly to allow the Table of Figures to be built using whatever method is being employed. -- Cheers!

I agree with Gordon. It would also be helpful to know how the TOC and TOF
are constructed. Press Alt+F9 to show the field codes. Copy text inside the field braces for each and post them in you reply. Also tell us whether there is at least a return between the two. (Press Alt+F9 again to turn the field codes off.)
