Is there a way to "tag" text in Word and then use those tags to generate lists similar to either tables of content or indices with hyperlink page numbers?
Suppose I am writing reports about various government programs. Each report would discuss the effects of each program over some time period, such as a year. Suppose I am interested in the effects on specific populations, such as kids (0-5), kids (5-12), kids (12-18), young adults (18-25), etc.
I would like to be able to "tag" portions of each report and then use those tags to generate the lists.
The lists could be as simple as an index where there is just a list of pages for each category, where each page number is a hyperlink:
Code:
Kids 0-5: 5, 14, 33, 56.
Kids 6-12: 5, 33, 122, 229, 231.
Kids 13-18: 13, 17, 61, 122, 180.
etc...
I have experiments with styles. I created a ToDo style and am able to generate a Table of Contents using that style. This works well, but it requires that I "add" a paragraph with that style. I would prefer not to have to add a line for each tag.
I'd appreciate any suggestions for better ways.
Thanks
