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

    No one here can change the behavior in Word. You should post a suggestion here: https://feedback.office.microsoft.com/default.aspx.

    Yes, we need this.

    Generate index (just like it does), provide page numbers (...), and make the page numbers hyperlink to the location - just like the TOC does.

    I would add... if you Save As a webpage, then in the HTML, it doesn't show the numbers, but does hyperlink the words - just like the TOC does.

    This appears to not be a solution, but I wonder if these guys could add this feature.

    Mentioned in technet, "check the Dexter tool offered at Editorium.com by Jack Lyon"

    This page has no "link" or "hyperlink" on it. Sigh.

    Someone should talk to them and post the outcome here.

    Shot him an email, and just got this back.

    Hi, Andy.

    Thanks for your message. I'm actually working on an index hyperlinker. It should be finished in a couple of months. Please send me a message then, and I'll give you an update. Stay tuned. :)

    Best wishes,

    Jack Lyon

    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
