Using Frames as fixed navigation toolbar with hyperlinks to jump to sections of a doc

[dani19]

Hi All,

I’m new here but I would really appreciate your help with frames in MS Word 2010. I’ve searched for a proper answer all over the net but surprisingly nothing is out there.

If anyone has been smart enough to figure out my quandary I would very much appreciate any advice. Here it goes:

1. I need to incorporate several word documents into one doc (cca 200 pages)
2. As there will be many pages, to make navigation easier, I want to have 3 frames (left, right and on top) which will be fixed/unmovable while I scroll thru the main page


3. THE MAIN PART: How can I create links/hyperlinks which would be in those frames so when I select them I could skip to targeted section of my main page?

I tried by imbedding Table of Content in those frames but it doesn’t work because it can’t link to anything in the main page. As if each frame is a separate document, independent of other content in the same document.

Guys if anyone knows of a solution for this please do share.

I would be very grateful for your expert input.

Dani

No such animal in Word AFAIK. You apparently are describing HTML.

Have you examined the Navigation Pane which is built in to Word?

You could also use a Word Textbox or Frame that contains hyperlinks to places in your document. Save it as AutoText and then use AutoText fields spaced through your document to display it.
