Hotlink with highlight-Hyperlink??
Hi, How do I hot link a text box that will take the reader to another part of
the document that discussues say the text box title? I have tried hyperlink and this does not provide the full approach I am trying to achieve as it does not have the capacity to direct the reader DIRECT to the detail located elswhere in the document and that it is highlighted and have 'mouse hover' pop up details as well. Hyperlink does give me the mouse hover but you need to Ctrl + Click rather than click on the text box to go to the other part in the document. I am sure it is my basic user ability that is the problem and not wanting more from word than it can provide, so any assistance is greatly apprecaited. Cheers Mike |

Hi Mike,
You didn't mention the version of Word you're using or the file type you're creating. This can affect how you accomplish the task a bit and also if you're trying to accomplish this just on your computer or for files used by others. The 'Ctrl+click' behavior to follow a hyperlink setting that works only on your computer, not on those of other folks. In Word 2003, for example, it's in Tools=Options=Edit. To have a hyperlink go to specific text within a Word document you can bookmark the goto target in Word by selecting the text then using Insert=Bookmark to name and create the bookmark. To have the Textbox be the jump trigger to the bookmark select the whole textbox then use Ctrl+K (Insert=Hyperlink) and click the [Bookmarks] button to select the jumpto location within your document. Note that if you've used Words 'Heading' styles to create headings then you may not need the separate steps to create a bookmark. The 'headings' will already be in the [Bookmarks] list. ============= "MikeR-Oz" wrote in message ...

HI Bob and thanks for the reply.
I have 2003 on my work PC and 2000 on the home PC. The file/word doc is to be sent to various staff and I guess potentially fifferent versions of word. I wanted to have the text box linked to the same box further in the document that expands on the brief title / heading that is in the text box. Does this assist in your answering me?
