Default Rats!!! Still won't work on second PC; Here's sample ToC

Attached is a sample ToC Document I made using Shauna Kelly instructions. Would someone please open it in your PC and see if it functions. Also, there is a return button that works but not on my second PC.



Nothing will function in the second Windows 10 PC I have which also has WORD 2016 on it.

Your TOC works fine on my machine. I seldom use the TOC inside a content control. It slows things down. If you instead insert a Custom (not Manual) Table of Contents you do not get the Content Control.

All I see for your button is a graphic. However, I believe that an ActiveX button would need a .docm format document to run.

Again, the button should not be necessary. Alt+Left Arrow returns the TOC. You could also add a Cross-Reference to your Table of Contents acting as a hyperlink if your really needed it. That would not have to use ActiveX.

On this second computer where it does not work, what happens if you open Word in Safe mode?

Also, Charles Kenyon - I am not ignoring your Alt+arrow advice. It's just that I wanted to play around and make something more visual, just for fun. I could also use linked text but chose to play around with a button.
