hyperlinks....

[Tyler]

I have a word file with a table of contents at the beginning. I would
like to hyperlink each of the sections in the table of contents but
for some reason when i try to hyperlink some of the headings they do
not show up in the box to select where they are linked to.

any ideas on how I can fix this?

Tyler:

The built-in TOC functions (the TOC field and its switches) allow for
hyperlinking the TOC items to their respective headings automatically. I
suggest you use this feature of Word rather than creating a TOC manually.

For sure, don't attempt to mix a TOC field with manually applied hyperlinks,
as you'll lose your work when the TOC gets updated.

If you insist on creating and linking your own TOC manually, the only reason
I can think that headings would fail to appear in the Select a Place in this
Document list is if they are not defined as built-in heading styles (Heading
1 through 9).
