Objet : [users] Click on index entry takes to location in document?
I'm using an Alphabetical Index in a Writer document.
Is there a way to configure Writer so that I can click on an individual
entry in the alphabetical index and have it take me directly to the
entry's location in the document?
To me it sounds like you want the document to be like a web page, with
Writer acting both as the editor and the web browser.
I just do not know if Write, or any word processor, can be set up that way.
The only hope is to be able to setup multiple "Bookmarks", but what you
want may not be at all possible, and may not be able to be used the way
you want.
What is the reason, or need, for this? Are you trying to create a
document that will have an index or some ending list of words and
phrases that will have links to the various pages that they contain? You
then click on the "link" after the word or phrase, and then you go to
the page automatically, like a web page?
I have seen this done with PDF documents, but not with a Word or Writer
document.
It can be done with writer, however you must ctrl click the link for it
to work. Exported as a pdf the links work as intended.
You must use the insert table function to create a table of contents
from your headers. Make sure you do NOT create a protected
TOC or you will not be able to perform the necessary modifications.
Assign bookmarks to each heading.
Highlight each TOC entry in turn and use the insert hyperlink function
for each, selecting the appropriate target as a bookmark. The help file
can help with the hyperlinks.
If anyone knows how to make the links "HOT" clickable instead of ctrl
click I am all ears.
