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

    If your "index" is just an alphabetical list of headings, then you could accomplish the same thing by creating a TOC, unlinking it, then sorting it alphabetically, then adding the cross-references.

    But won't this be wiped out whenever you update the index?

    Your probably right Suzanne. I failed to mention that I made my Index manually by copying the docx into excel, took out the body of text leaving the headings etc. Sorted alphbetically, saved as csv, imported at the end of the original docx then manually added the Cross references.

    A lot of work - but it seems to work.

    Best wishes

    I think I have got it to work.

    Create a book mark of the text you wish to link to.

    Within the index page number, create a Cross-reference to the bookmarked text, with Insert Reference to "Page Number".

    I hope this helps
