Dear community,

I'm desperately trying to use hyperlinks in my footnotes as cross references to different parts in the same document. For example, I'll have a footnote that says "For a more detailed description, see chapter X". I want readers to be able to click on "chapter X" and then be redirected to the beginning of that chapter. This works fine, when I place hyperlinks on my regular text. However, when I place hyperlinks on text in footnotes, nothing happens when I click on the links!



Does anybody have a solution for this problem?...

I use MS Word for Mac, version 16.66.1, under a 365 subscription. My OS is MacOS Monterey Version 12.4

I'd be eternally grateful for any help! You'd be directly contributing to Ph.D. research on legal models for self-governed non-profit housing

Hyperlinks in footnotes should work just the same as they do in the body text. Hyperlinks in headers & footers, though, aren't clickable when viewing the document body.

Are you using cross reference? Create a cross-reference

Sorry, I'm not a Mac user so I don't know whether it's exactly the same.
