I am creating an OO.o 3.0.1

hyperlinks to book marks within this document. I to have links in the TOC to
that section, and a link back to the TOC. This is fairly straight forward,
but there are also several hyperlinks throughout the document that are all
linked to a single bookmark (for example, end notes). I should like to
arrange links so that a reader can use a hyperlink and then return direct to
the hyperlink last used. Is I have seen how to do it in Word, but this is
appears to be quite complicated. There a way (preferably a simple way) to do
this with OO.o?


David, how do you create "back" buttons this in Word? I have googled
this in OOo for you but I don't see that it is possible (it may be,
but _I_ don't see how). Maybe if I will see how this is done in Word
(I don't have Word) I can help more.

Dotan,

Many thanks for your reply. This was in a PC Magazine email message on how to do this in Word. I don't have Word either, so I couldn't test this, worse, I couldn't see how to translate this to Writer.

The link to this is

I tested this URL by pasting it into the Firefox address bar and was taken to the page containing this tip.

With Warmest Regards

If your hyperlinks were in a one-to-one relationship, you could just link from X to Y and then back from Y to X. But since you've got many links leading to one destination, that approach won't work. Pressing Shift+F5 goes back to the last place in the document where you made a change—close, but that's not what you need either. Fortunately there's a simple solution: Just put a /Back /button in the Quick Access toolbar. Click the Office orb at top left, click /Word Options, / click the /Customize/ link. Select /Commands Not in the Ribbon/ from the drop-down. Double-click the /Back/ button in the list to put it on the Quick Access toolbar. Click /OK. /That's it. To make things even easier for your readers, you could add a custom Screen Tip to each hyperlink. While adding the hyperlink, click the Screen Tip button and enter /Click Back or Alt+Left to return./
