Default Table of Contents - Cross Reference issue

I have noted previous comments from Suzanne and Charles
but would like some further assistance in idiot form
please.

I have a table which has contents. 1 is "Index", 2
is "Introduction" and so on. What I would like to do is to
have the reader click on the word i.e. Index or
Introduction or whatever and that then automatically show
(take the reader to ) that section within the documnet.

Cross-reference seems to get me there on some occasions
but most of the actual headings with text (body of what is
being said) are not shown. Should those headings have been
created in a particular manner or am I not using the
option in Cross Reference correcly?

Any assistance is appreciated

Default Table of Contents - Cross Reference issue

An automatically generated Table of Contents in Word 2000 and later will
automatically include hyperlinks. In Word 97 the page numbers, only, are
hyperlinks. They don't have the blue color or underlining, but they are
hyperlinks.

What you need to be doing is using the built in heading styles to format
your headings. Then you don't need to mess around with cross-references for
a Table of Contents. There are step-by-step instructions at

Re the little gray ¶s
Nonprinting characters can be turned off and on by clicking ¶ in the
Standard toolbar. If that doesn't work, check the View settings in the
Tools | Options menu. See here for more info, and an explanation of how
nonprinting characters can be extremely useful:

Default Table of Contents - Cross Reference issue

Hi Dayo,

Thank for that, I will have a look at the site you have
nominated as well.

I do not suppose you know how to check the speed f a hard
drive?

I thought of hitting the "Del" key at start up to check
the BIOS but that did not help.

I have also tried Properties in My Computer.I have 2 Pc's
here both with various version of Win98.

Any guidance appreciated.

Thanks

John

Dayo has answered your primary question. However, if they are on each line
this means you are not using Word correctly. Those are paragraph marks and
should be at the end of each paragraph. You should be letting Word wrap your
lines by itself and setting where that will happen using margins and
paragraph formatting for indents. Pressing the Enter key at the end of each
line, as if using a typewriter, makes your work much more difficult to edit.

If you mean that you want a benchmark program to measure your hard
drive speed, look for HDTach. Google should find it for you.

If you mean that you want to know the drive ratings (RPM, access time,
etc.) th ebest bet is to get the model number (either by opening the
box and reading it off the drive or by looking in Device Manager), and
then check the drive manufacturer's web site.

If neither of these works, ask in the newsgroup:
