TOC & Return "Poprivet" <poprivet[ at ]devnull.spamcop.net> 6/16/2007 11:42:05 PM Hi all, Shitf-F5 works great and is pretty useful. Now I'm curious about another little goody that I doubt exists, but ... if one doesn't ask, then one never knows; right? <g> Word 2002: Have a Document with a TOC which is made from Headings, specifically Heading styles 1 thru4 . It's about 3 pages long as this is an all text document promising to surpass 500 pages. It's 485 pages now and quite a ways to go yet. This is an annoyance that's bugged me for a long time: Is there a simple way to jump back to the place in the toc you came from? In other words if I click on a toc line in the third page of the toc, and say it takes me to page 400, is there any easy way to provide a link that'll take me back to page 3 of the toc? A link to "top" sort of works but isn't very convenient when you really wanted to go back to page 3 of the toc. I know I could manually, say, page 1 of the toc covers pages 1 thru, say 100, and for those 100 pages, hyperlink back to that page, but ... that's pretty crutty if the document should get changed/rearranged at all; it's worse than the alternatives so far, IMO. So ... any other ideas or little tricks I'm maybe not aware of? Any Word 2007 users out there care to pipe in? To date I've had no reason to switch from 2002, but ... maybe this could be the first one. TIA Pop`

After clicking the TOC to jump into the document, click the Back button on the toolbar. If that works, you can add the Back button to any other toolbar (most easily, hold Alt+Shift while dragging the button from the Web toolbar to the other). As far as I know, no changes to this function were made in Word 2007. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

Re: TOC & Return "Herb Tyson [MVP]" <herb[ at ]1x2y3z.xnw> 6/17/2007 7:19:32 PM The Back (and Forward) commands are by default assigned to Alt+Left and Alt+Right, respectively. The same keystrokes with in all of the browsers I've tried as well... not to mention in a number of other applications for which the Back/Forward concepts are relevant. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Jay Freedman" <jay.freedman[ at ]verizon.net> wrote in message news:hefa73pbuudf4fracjtemouju0alvp94at[ at ]4ax.com...
