Can Word 2004 for Mac create click-able Table of Contents?

[Alok]

Hello,

I have created a few Table of Contents using Word 2004 for Mac but
have been unsuccessful in creating entries in these TOCs that are
click-able i.e if I click or Ctrl+click on an entry in the TOC, Word
jumps to the corresponding section in the document. Does anybody
know how to do that?

Thanks very much,
Alok

I've done that before. It's been a while, but I believe that I created
"bookmarks" at the beginning of the places you wanted the click to direct
you to. Then in the TOC, create a Hyperlink that connects to that bookmark.

I'm heading out now, so can't go into much more detail, but maybe someone
else can jump in. I can post again when I return if needed.

Hello Alok,

In Word 2004 (as in previous Mac versions of Word), only the page number is
clickable. But you don't have to control-click -- just click.

Is that a fair trade-off? ;-)

PS: Your ref to control-clicking suggests you might have come recently from
PC Land. Some differences between Mac an PC are included in some notes on
the way I use Word for the Mac, titled "Bend Word to Your Will", which are
available as a free download from the Word MVPs' website
(http://word.mvps.org/Mac/Bend/BendWordToYourWill.html).

re-visiting the newsgroup for several days after the first response comes

about getting the best out of posting are at

blank page and have to hit the circular arrow icon -- "Reload the current
page" -- two or more times).

If you use Word's heading styles (or modified versions based on them) for
headings, then Word's table of contents mechanism will do all that for you,
in effect -- in no seconds flat. And the page numbers are clickable. See
Help menu => enter "Create a table of contents by using built-in heading
styles" as the search term.

Masochists can look up the non-styles methods...

Cheers,
Clive

Michelle, Clive - thanks for your feedback. Clive - I pretty much am
doing what you suggested in your second post but never realized that
only the page number is click-able! That is good enough for me.

Thanks very much,
