Hyperlinked Bookmarks in Word

T

Tom Edelbrok

I have a large document which contains many references to other places that
are located within the same document. For example, there are a variety of
terms and definitions where I want the user to click on the term referenced
and they simply jump to the definition. This is easily accomplished with
hyperlinked bookmarks (I'm using Office 2000).

However, there is a problem. It seems that bookmarks must consist of a
single word without spaces. Therefore I cannot accomodate terms such as
"MATERIAL BOUNDARY" or "ABSTRACT SOURCE".

What I really want is to have a sentence like this:

"All SOURCES are ABSTRACT SOURCES. All SOURCES have at least one SOURCE
LOADER and at least one SOURCE FEEDER. Some SOURCES have no AMR."

Then, when the user clicks on the hyperlinked string "ABSTRACT SOURCES" they
jump to that definition, located elsewhere in the same document. Problem is,
you can't define a bookmark called "ABSTRACT SOURCES", and if I cheat by
calling it "ABSTRACTSOURCES" (ie: leaving out the space) then it looks
stupid in the sentence that the user is reading.

How can I do what I want to do here?

Any ideas appreciated,

Hi Tom,

The name of the bookmark does not have to match the highlighted text.
It's only the Bookmark ID that can't have spaces.

In your document, select the text you want to bookmark, select Insert=>Bookmark and assign a name, When you later use
Insert=>Hyperlink choose the [Screentip] buttom and type the tooltip text you want to appear while hovering over the Hyperlink and
select the [Bookmark] button to choose the bookmark you want to connect to the Hyperlink..
