can you hyperlink an index in Word?
In Word the "hyperlink" feature automatically inserts a hyperlink into Table
of Contents (you can turn this feature off) so that TOC entries are clickable. I have a TOC at the beginning and an index at the end of a document and would like to have each entry in the index similarly automatically hyperlinked back to the entry in the document. Can this be done? |

can you hyperlink an index in Word?
The only method I can think of is to create a bookmark on each page and then
on your Index, create a cross reference at each page number, linking you to the bookmarks. Anybody else have any easier/quicker ideas?

Can this be done? I'm not aware of any features in current versions of Word offering a hyperlinked INDEX. :-( This has been discussed over the years in various forums. The big difference between a hyperlinked TOC and INDEX is, the target for the hyperlink is very clear and unique in case of the TOC. For an INDEX, the target is either not unique or the number of bookmarks may raise dramatically. The following thread points this out: http://groups.google.ch/group/bit.li...5c885fa7985117 IOW, you'd have to code it yourself or use an existing 3rd party solution. I remember MVP Steve Hudson advertising for his site with the slogan: "Want a hyperlinked index?" Nowadays, his site can be found at: http://www.geocities.com/word_heretic/ Greetinx Robert -- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | MS \ / | MVP X Against HTML | for / \ in e-mail & news | Word |
