Table of contents

Can I set a table of contents where headings in the table can be clicked on and jump to that section of the document?

It is a word document not a web page so the hyperlink as described in the 'help' pages does not work for me.

I would like it to retain page numbers but have highlighted / underlined description so it can be used to 'jump to' the required section.

RE: Table of contents

Hi Vicki

By default this should work automatically. In your document insert your table of contents as normal.

Once the table is created hover over one of the items you want to jump to and keep your mouse pointer still. Look for a tooltip near your mouse pointer that tells you to use Ctrl+Click to follow the link. On your keyboard press the control key (lower left hand corner) and then left click with the mouse on the link you want to follow. Word should move you to the relevant section in your document.

Let us know if you have further questions.

Kind regards,

Andrew

Thanks, I did see this previously but didn't equate 'click' with the mouse action. I used the enter key which didn't work.

Now will be able to cope with the document.

Thanks again

Vicki

Word tip:

Use Paint Brush to do Multiple Formating in Word

To copy a format from one piece of text in Word to multiple words or paragraphs

1. Select the word with the format that you want to copy

2. Double-click on the paint brush icon on the Toolbar

When you move to the word/paragraph where you want to paste the format you will notice that a paint brush follows the cursor.

Paste the format to all the words and paragraphs you need to format.

When finished go back to the paint brush on the Toolbar and single click on it to deactivate the function.
