Hyperlinks in word
"Charles Shapiro" <cshapiro2[ at ]cox.net> 6/30/2007 5:51:26 PM
Hello.

I have a word document I have put a table of contents into. I have inserted
hyperlinks into the TOC. I then convert the word document to an Adobe PDF
file. When I click on one of the hyperlinks in the TOC, it wants to open
the word document instead of just going to the place in the PDF I created.
It's going to the right place (in the word document), it's just not going to
the right document. (word doc vs. pdf doc).

Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?

Appreciate an help you can give.

Thanks.

...Chip..

You say: <I have inserted hyperlinks into the TOC>. This makes me ask: How
did you create the TOC? If you created it manually and created the hyperlinks
e.g. by using "Paste as Hyperlink", I think that this could be what causes
your problem. I don't know which version of Word and Adobe Acrobat you are
using but I have seen with Adobe Acrobat 6 that hyperlinks created using
"Paste as Hyperlink" pointed to the Word document instead of the PDF document.

You should create the TOC in Word using Insert > Reference > Index and
Tables > Table of Contents tab. If needed, you will find help in this article:

Note that the basics of creating a TOC are covered in
http://www.ShaunaKelly.com/word/toc/CreateATOC.html. My article at
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/TOCTips.htm builds on Shauna's.

Thanks. I did create the hyperlinks using what you describe in the 2nd
paragraph below, but I have to admit not fully understanding what the help
file was telling me. Thanks for the advice and the link below.
