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

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.

In electronic documents, an index without hyperlinks is about as helpful as a screen-door on a submarine. I can't believe Microsoft would be so short-sighted as not not have these linked by default. I am using 2010 and am trying to find the same answer.
