Automatic TOC Linking

[MrWCF]

I have a 900-page word document (office 2010, Vista 64-bit OS). I want to automatically generate a table of contents with links to the first word of every five pages, that is, a TOC that shows 180 words linking to page 5, 10, 15, 20, ...., 900.



Is that possible?

In Word, tables of contents are based on paragraph styles or TC fields. In other words, the TOC doesn't directly reference a page.

Is there a chance thats every five pages start with a paragraph using a particular style?

Alternatively, if you can identify the content by other means, a macro may be used to insert TC fields.

I'll explain what the document contains--perhaps that will make a possible solution come to mind.

The document lists 230,360 six-card deals (with much duplication) (and with accompanying information) in ascending order from AAAA22 to QQKKKK. What I want is to be able to jump to a particular deal (or at least within a few pages of that deal) by picking out a nearby (in sequence) deal in the table of contents. The 230,360 deals are arranged in 64 rows and four columns per page, so there are 900 pages. If I use the first deal listed on each fifth page, I will end up with 180 bookmarks in the table of contents. (I do know, by the way, what those specific 180 deals are, in case that makes a difference in any potential macro.)

Thanks for any help you can give.
