Highlight the corresponding row of a hyperlink?

[ckcmonkey]

Hi,

I am trying to create an FAQ section where a user can click on th
relevant topic, and the hyperlink would bring him to the correspondin
entry in a table below w/ all the info. Is there a way to als
highlight that entry when you click on the topic? To illustrate, whe
one clicks on Advertising under FAQ, the hyperlink will take her to th
table entry marked "Advertising" and highlighted in yellow or bold th
border or font or something to make it stand out from the massive tabl
that I have...

Thanks!

Creating a table of contents would seem the easiest way to get the
hyperlinks in place (because TOCs are hyperlinked by default in Word).

The second part of your question is more difficult. But is it necessary to
make the target stand out? When clicking a hyperlink, the insertion point
moves to the linked item. Doesn't that work for you?

Thanks Stefan. It is preferred to somehow make the target stand out
because the table contains hundreds of entries, so even though th
hyperlink takes the user to the desired spot, there would still be, say
ten entries on the screen, which is hard to make out...

I see your point. I believe you need a macro to accomplish this, so you had
better ask in a VBA forum.
