Word should allow "link to section#" not just "link to previous".

[TechWriterECB]

In the Header/Footer sections of Microsoft Word, there should be a variable
link option instead of just a "link to previous" section. I create many
documents in my profession where portrait and landscape are mixed throughout
the document along with other section differences. If I could link any
header or footer section to another header or footer section, then it would
be a lot more usefull tool than just "link to previous".

Example: I am in section 3, which is portrait, and I want to link to
section 1, which is portrait, but the section inbetween is landscape and has
a different header. In the section 3 header I should be able to choose "link
to section 1".

Hi TechWriterECB,

If you're really stubborn, then you can do this with Word's current
abilities. That is, go to Section 1's header and select the entire range of
the header and then bookmark it (I'll give my example the name
"HeaderSection1"). Return to the header in Section 3 and insert a {REF} field
and include the bookmark that you just inserted. In the end, your {REF} field
will look something like the following:

{REF HeaderSection1}

HTH,
Dave
