For 5 years I've been editing a 25 page Word document that was created on a PC. I am running a Mac w/office 2011. The established TOC has always allowed for the user to hover over a page number turning the cursor into a hand. The reader then clicks on the page number and are brought to that topic. I then export the file to my PC where I convert it to a pdf file and upload it to a website. I can't use my Mac to upload.



Last week, the PC refuses to see the link in the TOC. Rather it says hold Control and Click to go to page number. I have completely uninstalled Office 2007 and reloaded, but the problem persists. The identical problem occurs when using other documents w/TOC's.

Any thoughts on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Gary

If you do hold Ctrl and click, then does the link work properly? If so, then the only "issue" is that the following option is selected at File tab | Options | Advanced: "Use CTRL + Click to follow hyperlink." You can easily clear the option.

Thanks for your quick reply. Now my problem is that I can't find anything in Office 2007/Word that resembles a File Tab. I have searched "Help" and all the other tabs. Please lead me in the right direction for locating this elusive tab.

Thanks,

Sorry, my instructions were specific to Word 2010 and 2013. In Word 2007, you click the Office button and then Word Options to display the Options dialog box.
