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

    I'm afraid the best I can do is direct you to a developer forum at MSDN: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/worddev/threads.

    It's a possible explanation (remember that Word has been around for quite some time, from before online documents became common). And just to be clear, I have no influence over the Office development team.

    Note that Word is primarily intended for printed documents.

    I don't know how to hyperlink form a page number within a word index. However, you can hyperlink to a topic from the index to the corresponding topic within the word document. Simply create a "bookmark" linked to the topic/word within the document; then from the index, create a hyperlink to that bookmark. Depending on the size of your index, this can be very time consuming but it works.
