how to link a page
If you really mean an index rather than a table of contents, Word does not
hyperlink index entries. You could set this up manually by inserting a bookmark at the location to which you want to be taken, converting the index into hard text (Ctrl+Shift+F9), and inserting a hyperlink to that bookmark in the "index". Depending on how long your index is, this could be a very laborious process. The biggest problem is that an index often refers to multiple locations in a document, and a given bookmark can occur only once. Hence, for index entries with multiple references in the document, you would have to pick one of them or include a separate bookmark for each location you want hyperlinked. On the other hand, if you really mean a table of contents, then Suzanne's advice will tell you what you need to know. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Carl R" wrote in message ...

It would appear a TOC is what he wanted since he sent me an email thanking
me for the link. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Herb Tyson [MVP]" wrote in message ...

how to link a page
To tell the truth I probably made an unwarranted assumption, but so many
users do refer to a TOC as an index that I really didn't even notice the terminology since he said he wanted it at the beginning of the document and the functionality he was describing was that of a TOC (and it wasn't clear to me that he had anything on his "index page" yet). -- Suzanne S.

Actually, he didn't say "at the beginning"... I think you inferred that, as
well. :-) I am creating a large document in Word. On the index page I want to click on a category that will take me to that certain spot in the document. Can this be done? I have searched help but can't find, probably not using the correct verbage, can you help please ??? If he responds, perhaps we'll discover whether this is what he wanted. I suspect you're right, but it's hard to tell. Perhaps we'll find out what he means by "category," as well. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Suzanne S.

I guess I really was reading between the lines. Correctly, as it turned out.
