I am making a document in Word 2007 (PC Version) that is pretty long and
I would like to include cross-reference links in the header of every
page so that it is easy to jump to any of the major headings of the
document from any page.
Making a cross reference was easy enough to figure out (Insert Cross
Reference) and was basically just creating a link that made you jump to
different headers in the document when you clicked on it. I made a nice
table of contents using cross-references on the first page and it
worked great. The problem is when I took this table of contents, shrunk
the font, and copy and pasted it into the header so that it would appear
on every page, all of the cross-references lose their link like
ability-- meaning the list appears in the header, but you can't click
on any of the cross-references, they just got reformatted to regular
text.
However, if you double click on the area of the header MS word goes
into a mode where you can edit the header (blue doted lines appear
demarcating the header, the font in the rest of the document becomes
gray, and a new tab labeled "header and footer tools" opens in the
quick access bar toolbar) and while in that mode the cross-references
work fine and retain their ability to link to different parts of the
document. As soon as I click away from the header and go back to the
rest of the document though, they lose the ability again and
essentially become regular text. Thus the cross-references in the
header only work when one is in that special editing mode, which makes
them useless for actually navigating the document efficiently.
Does anyone know how I can insert cross-references into a header and
have them retain their link ability normally?
Thanks
