table of contents
It never ends!
I have a large document with a TOC already created (not via the Word heading method). The headings were not created with the standard Word headings. I tried following the tips in the link provided below to create a new TOC, but anytime I try to apply the heading style to the heading text (or update heading style to match text), it starts screwing with the numbering. ARGH!!!! What I'm ultimately trying to do is get a hyperlinked TOC. I am using Word 97. The heading style/numbering used in the document is standard technical/engineering: 1, 1.1, 2, 2.1, 2.1.1, etc... It goes six levels deep but the TOC only needs to go 3. Why is it that I can't do one single thing in Word without creating two other problems in its place??? -----Original Message----- All TOCs will do this. For general information on creating a TOC, see http://www.ShaunaKelly.com/word/toc/CreateATOC.html. In Word 97 and earlier, only the page number is hyperlinked. In Word 2000 and above, the entire entry is hyperlinked by default (if you don't care for this, you can disable it by removing the \h switch in the TOC field code). In Word 2002 and above, by default you have to Ctrl+click to follow the link. -- Suzanne S.

Can anyone recommend a source that explains in detail how to create a table of contents where if one clicks on an item in the TOC it automatically jumps to that part of the document. Marty . |

See http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/numb...Numbering.html for help
in setting up outline-numbered heading styles. Note that in Word 97, only the page number will be hyperlinked, not the entire TOC entry (this feature was introduced in Word 2000). -- Suzanne S.
