Tried putting it in header and footer, but then can't click it when viewing
document. Ideas? Thanks.

To create a hyperlink that says "Back to Table of Contents" on each page:

1. Go to the page where your Table of Contents is located.
2. Highlight the text "Table of Contents".
3. Click on the Insert tab in the top menu.
4. Click on Bookmark in the "Links" section.
5. In the "Bookmark name" field, type "toc" (or any other name you prefer).
6. Click Add.

To create a hyperlink that will take you back to the Table of Contents from any page:

1. Go to the page where you want to insert the hyperlink.
2. Highlight the text that you want to turn into a hyperlink (e.g. "Back to Table of Contents").
3. Click on the Insert tab in the top menu.
4. Click on Hyperlink in the "Links" section.
5. In the "Link to" field, select "Place in This Document".
6. In the "Select a place in this document" section, click on Bookmark.
7. Select the "toc" bookmark (or whatever name you gave it) from the list.
8. Click OK.

Now you should have a hyperlink that says "Back to Table of Contents" on each page of your document. When you click on it, it will take you back to the Table of Contents.

Regarding the issue you mentioned about not being able to click the hyperlink when it's in the header or footer, that's because headers and footers are not clickable by default. However, you can change this setting by following these steps:

1. Double-click on the header or footer to enter edit mode.
2. Click on the Design tab in the top menu.
3. Check the box next to "Different First Page" (if it's not already checked).
4. Check the box next to "Different Odd & Even Pages" (if it's not already checked).
5. Click on the Options button in the "Navigation" section.
6. Check the box next to "Enable Clickable Hyperlinks".
7. Click OK to close the dialog box.

Now your hyperlinks in the header or footer should be clickable.

I added the Web "Back" button to my toolbar to do this function. However,
this method obviously would not be saved for use by other users unless they,
too, add the button to their toolbar.

Recent versions of Word also have a Go to TOC button that you can add to a
toolbar.

Hyperlink to a bookmark: On your Table of Contents page, put your cursor in
front of the word "Table" and INSERT BOOKMARK (name your bookmark TOC, or
whatever) add. Then go to any point in your document, INSERT HYPERLINK
Place in this document under Bookmarks find your TOC bookmark and click on
it. change the "Text to Display" to something like "Return to Table of
Contents."

The document I'm working with is quite long, and for a wide and varied group - using a wide range of systems and programs. Adding toolbar buttons isn't a viable option. The post regarding bookmarks only works for one section. I want to add a "back" prompt in each section to go back to the TOC.
