Turn Word table cell into clickable hyperlink button

[cobms2014]

Hey all! I've been struggling with this and cannot seem to find a solution:



I have a 6x6 standard table in a Word document. Each cell has text in it - titles of news articles that are further down in the document. I want to turn these into an internal-doc hyperlink so that when clicked, the reader is taken directly to the part of the document with the corresponding article. Here's the twist - I want each whole cell to be a "button" - I do not just want a hyperlink of the text within the cell.

The only workaround I have is to create a square object in the cells and use those as object hyperlinks, but when I convert to PDF, the hyperlinks do not work.

Any advice on this would be much appreciated. I feel like I am almost at the solution!
