TOC in Word 2007
I created my first TOC in Word using a how-to video I found on YouTube.
But, I would like the TOC items to be hyperlinks to the headings in the document (the video didn't show that part). I found that if I click in the TOC a couple times, I get the Update Table label at the top of the TOC, then if I click at the very beginning of an item, I get a informational popup telling me I can use Ctrl-Click to jump to the heading. Way too much trouble. I would just like to double-click on an item and then jump to that heading. Users aren't going to do well at following the above steps that I outlined. The method I use to create the TOC is totally automatic. Is there a way to add this hyperlink functionality, also automatically? Instead of using the normal steps to create a hyperlink for each TOC item? Thanks |

Click the Office button, and then click Word Options. In the Advanced
category, clear the check box next to "Use CTRL + Click to follow hyperlink." Click OK. Note that this is a user-specific/machine-specific setting. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "JohnB" wrote in message ... I created my first TOC in Word using a how-to video I found on YouTube.

TOC in Word 2007
What you describe indicates that the TOC is already hyperlinked (as they all
are, by default, in every version since 2000). As Stefan points out, in Word 2002 and above, you must use Ctrl+click to follow ANY hyperlink unless you change that option in the place he described for Word 2007 (Tools | Options | Edit in previous versions). The result will be that you can use a single click (not a double-click) to follow the hyperlink, but you will not be able to edit the display text of any hyperlink without going to the Edit Hyperlink dialog. Your call. Also, as Stefan pointed out, this just makes it easier for you, not for anyone else who uses your doc unless that user has also changed the Options setting. -- Suzanne S.

work well for users of this document. "Stefan Blom" wrote in message ... Click the Office button, and then click Word Options.

Looks like the PDF output will be the solution to not having require each
user to change their Word settings. Thanks "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...
