I have a document with a table of contents in Word 2000 (SR-3). Whenever
I click a TOC entry, it opens the following URL in my browser:
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/#_Toc152131057

It didn't used to do this, but I don't know what/if I did to cause this.

Please help me make Word's TOC links jump to the document's chapter header.

Could someone help me with this, please?

It tried your suggestion, and clicking on a TOC entry still opens the
"link"(*) in my default browser (Firefox).

(*) http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/#_Toc152475269

Why the "#_Toc152475269" is prepended by "http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/"
is a mystery to me. That's not even my homepage.

If I select: Context Menu / Toggle Field Codes, I get: {HYPERLINK \L
"_TOC152475266"}, which seems OK.

The context menu "Hyperlink / Edit Hyperlink" yields:

Link to: Text to display [<<Selection in Document>>

Select a place in this document: (nothing is selected)
- Top of the document
- Headings
- Bookmarks

Could some errant registry entry be the culprit? (although a search for
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US came up empty)

PS. Can I attach screenshots to this newsgroup?

Wild guess:

Make a COPY of the document. Then delete your TOC and regenerate it. See if
that works.

In File | Properties, Summary tab, clear the contents of the
"Hyperlink base" box and click OK. Update the table of contents.
