The hyperlink forward/back buttons are a property of the Word application. They can be added to the QAT. There is nothing equivalent you can add to the document itself. Depending on your requirements, you could add hyperlinks at each hyperlink destination that takes you to another hyperlink destination (which might even be the place you hyperlinked from).

Thanks macropod!

I thought I had done that at one point - but that was in a previous job, some years back, I don't remember any specifics. Well, for now I have followed your proposal and I have simply typed the word "BACK" after the target of any Hyperlink (at the end of the paragraph) and added to that a hyperlink that takes the user back to where he started from.
Thanks a lot!
