is it possible to create hyperlink from page numbers in footer?
hi
i've created a Word 2007 document and have created a bookmark to the word 'Contents' at the top of the first page. I have also inserted page numbers in the Footer of each page. I would like to know if it's possible to create a hyperlink from each page number in the Footers back to the bookmarked word 'Contents' at the top of the first page? I'm happy to create them one page at a time. I'm basically looking for an easy way to take me straight back to the contents page from any page in the document. Using page numbers as hyperlinks is my preferred option - it keeps things minimilist clean for me. But if this isn't possible can anyone suggest an alternative? For example, as an alternative - would it be possible to use the text in the header of each page to create a hyperling back to the first page? any help would be appreciated, thanks kevin |

Hi Kevin,
I'd suggest a different approach. First off, I'll assume you're using Heading Styles etc and that the Table of Contents is built up from these via a Table of Contents field. Having such a Table of Contents allows you to simply click on an entry and be taken to that page. If you want to be able to follow such hyperlinks back (and forward), all you need to do is to add the hyperlink back and forward buttons to Word's Quick Action Toolbar. To do this, go to Word Options|Customize, choose 'Commands not in Ribbon' and add the back and forward buttons. While you could perhaps add a hyperlink to the page # in the footer, such a hyperlink isn't accessible till you open up the footer, so it's not really useful.
