Default Problem with TOC for multiple documents

I have a large document, split into chapters and each chapter is its own Word
file (Word 2003). I have created my TOC also in a separate file by placing
all my files in the same folder, using the automatic TOC feature of Word, and
using the Reference Document (RD) field code. It works except that the
entries in my TOC are always just text. They are not links. I have the option
to use Ctrl + Click enabled but I get nothing when I hover over the TOC. It
doesn't matter which view of the document I select.

I have tried building it with "Use Hyperlinks instead of page numbers"
selected and with the same option cleared. The results are the same. Just
text. My TOC is based on the built-in style headings.

I have no problems when I create a TOC in the same Word file as the content.
I can Ctrl + click to navigate to the specific area. The situation only
occurs when I'm trying to create a TOC to span multiple documents outside of
the TOC doc. Does anyone know if this is possible?

Thanks!
