Need hyperlinks index entries in word 2007

Hi All,


I am trying to find a way to get the page numbers in a Word 2007 generated index to contain hyperlinks to the corresponding content in the document. So far I haven't been able to find a way to do this. 

Web searches seem to suggest this could be done with a macro, but that is beyond my skill level. I was wondering if anyone had any other suggestions, or knows of a pre-existing macro I could use to achieve this.


Thanks


Neil

    Word doesn't support hyperlinked index entries, unfortunately. You'll need a macro solution. Ask in a Technet or MSDN forum for such a macro.

    Microsoft Support / Vinay & Maxwell, I think you misunderstood the hyperlink / index question... the answer you supplied would require individual bookmarks & links for EACH index entry which of course can be numerous in a large document. We NEED something similar to a generated table of contents where the page numbers automatically link without creating the individual bookmark and hyperlink entries...

    NEED TO KNOW if there is a SWITCH for the XE field code that can be entered to automatically create a hyperlink for the index's generated page numbers. The original questioner also wanted the MACRO that would accomplish the same results, but it sounds like the macro is actually doing the individual bookmarking and hyperlink entries once the index is created... we'll take it if there is no specific switch or auto-hyperlink entry feature for generated index page numbers.

    Thanks for your assistance, VP Line
