quotes linked to original context
I have a long transcript of conversation.
I want to collect quotes from it and have each quote hyperlinked back to where the quote appears in the original sequence. Essentially "click on quote to see it in context." I'll have dozens or hundreds of quotes, so I need a SIMPLE/quick/macro way to do this. |

It sounds like what you are looking for is Cross-reference, if you go to the
Insert Menu and then Reference it will be found there. It will do what you are looking for. For more info on it I suggest searching Word Help for Cross-reference -- Carrie "DocuGuy" wrote: I have a long transcript of conversation.

Select the text for each quote you're going to excerpt; go to Insert
Bookmark; give the bookmark a name you can remember. In the place where you want the excerpt to appear, go to the place to insert cross references (different in different versions of Word), choose the bookmark for that excerpt, choose "Bookmark text" as what to insert, and be sure the box "Insert as hyperlink" is checked. Then when you mouse over the quote, you'll get a box telling you to Ctrl- Click to go to its source. If you also want a page reference to that spot to show, insert another copy of the bookmark next to the one showing the excerpt, but instead of "Bookmark text," choose "Page number."

Superb!
After playing w this in Word 2007, it is even easier! Open doc 1 Select quote Open doc 2 paste as hyperlink Word is auto-naming anything I copy as a bookmark (I assume that happens when it 'realizes' I want it hyperlinked.)

Oh. You didn't say they were in a different document. I wouldn't know
how to do that. Do they show up in References Cross Reference under "Bookmarks"? If you didn't name them, how does it identify them? On Feb 20, 3:37*pm, DocuGuy wrote: Superb!
