Hello,

I have just written a technical report and this is really the first time I have put MS Word to any serious test. Apart from a few minor niggles switching between the Mac and Windows (not questioning that here) I seems like a great success.

However, my last task was to create a contents index. I set this as the last thing to do once all else was completed. I have, thus far, manually written the table which I admit is tedious and probably unnecessary but I could find no way of getting Word to do this for me, even after hours of Internet searching.

Basically, all I need is for my content listing to link to the appropriate point in the document as I would with a hyperlink. I tried the automatic feature in Word but it missed out subheadings and subparts (it is a complex report with lots of them).

The question is this, is there a way of keeping the manually typed table of contents as it is and then just make each item clickable so it hyperlinks the the correct point?



All other methods seem based on heading styles but I have no idea what this actually means.

Thanks.
