Need advice on organizing data

[denton]

I have many questions and answers in one MS Word file that are becoming
unmanageable. I would like to see all the questions in a list then be able
to “link†down to the question and answer (like with HTML <a name> tags).
Can you give me advice how I can implement a solution?

Allocate a heading style to the questions, then click at the beginning of
the document (but not the first paragraph) then choose Insert menu -> Index
and Tables -> Table of Contents.

If a heading's formatting doesn't suit you, you can either re-define the
heading to something better, or create a new style and nominate it ­ rather
than headings ­ as the style that is picked up by the table of contents (via
the Options button in the sequence above).

If you're not familiar with styles or need more information, feel free to
post back.

============================================================
* SUGGESTION -- KEEP REVISITING AFTER YOU POST: If you post a question, keep
re-visiting the newsgroup for several days after the first response comes
in. Sometimes it takes a few responses before the best or complete solution
is provided; sometimes you'll be asked for further information. Good tips
about getting the best out of posting are at
http://word.mvps.org/Mac/AccessNewsgroups.html and
http://word.mvps.org/FindHelp/Posting.htm (if you use Safari you may see a
blank page and have to hit the circular arrow icon -- "Reload the current
page" -- two or more times).
