Creating page links back to Table of Contents

hi guys,

Is there an effective way I can create page links back to the Table of Contents I made in my word document. I had attempted to create a footer on each page then link it to the TOC but that did not work. Screenshot is below :-(

It will work if you convert to pdf. The thing is, anything in the footer is in a different layer of the document in Word.

Ctrl+G allows you to go to a bookmark.
Ctrl+Home takes you to the beginning of a document.

If you usually go to headings in the document by clicking a hyperlinked TOC entry, you can go back to the TOC by using the WebGoBack command (Alt+Left arrow).

As an alternative, you can add a button to your Quick Access Toolbar which takes you to the TOC, specifically. At File | Options | Quick Access Toolbar, look for the Go To TOC command.

You could also add the web navigation forward & back buttons to the QAT and use the back button to return to the last-used link (TOC, hyperlink, etc.).

Good point. WebGoBack applies not only when you are clicking hyperlinks in the TOC and you can add it to the Quick Access Toolbar, in addition to using the shortcut.
