2009Eureka Eureka – I Got It

Most of my friends think I am a techy and they always believe I can solve all of their Internet and PC related problems. I wish they knew better. What gives them that impression about me is the simple reason that I like adventuring into the unknown and never accept defeat as an outcome.
A friend of mine confronted me today and asked or help. He was creating two documents in Microsoft Word; one had to serve as the table of content and the other had to bear the actual content itself. He wanted to create links on the table of content that point to specific portions in the content itself. He did so, but each time the links are clicked, the content document opens but doesn’t scroll down to the desire portion in it. Can I help him do some auto scrolling so that when he clicks on any chapter, say chapter 9 in the table of contents, it opens the content document and automatically scrolls down to chapter 9?
Immediately, I knew auto scrolling was not the answer. Microsoft Word 2003 is still primitive for such functions. However, I knew hyper linking and bookmarking would do just exactly what he wants. I created bookmarks in the content and links in the table of content but didn’t know exactly how to create a relationship between the two.
That’s when I gave up testing my intellect and turned to Google for an answer. I found this tutorial that says everything about creating hyperlinks in Microsoft Word.
Happy Happy!!!
