MS Word hyperlinking help!

[unbiased]

Dear All,

I have seen many a word or PDF document where a wod or a heading is hyperlinked to a paragrapgh or text in the same dcoument. I mean if you click on the heading it leads you to the paragraph under that heading in the document.
I have been trying the hyperlinking menu but without success. WORD HELP is also no help (no pun intended).

Can some good soul please tell me how to provide such link as described above?

Thanks are in advance.

Thanks for the help, but the info but I am confused as to which portion will be bookmarked. The heading(link) or the Text (linked body of text which will show if the link is clicked on). What I did was selected the heading in the list of headings(which I wanted to act as a link to the body of the text under that heading in the main body of the document) and made a bookmark. Now when I hyperlink the body of text which I want to see by clicking on the link, to the bookmark, the whole body of text becomes underlined. I don't want this underline. also clicking on the link does not do anything.
I am totally confused between the link and the body of text which clicking on the link should bring forward.
You will notice that in the given link, the person explaining has both the time used the same text for link and body of text. I am totally confused.

Can somebody help?

Step 1:

Start off by highlighting what ever text you want tag on your page. Then go to the top of the menu and Click on INSERT BOOKMARK.

Step 2:

From there you will prompted by a window where you can type in the name of your bookmark. It is very important to remember that you can not have spaces in the name. Once you named the bookmark click ADD and close it.

Step 3:

From there choose the text on the page you want to link that bookmark to. In this case I have a table of contents I want to link that section of the page to, so I would go up to the top of the page and highlight the text that I want to tag, then click insert hyperlink

Step 4:

After you click the insert hyperlink tab, a window will open up Click on the "place within this document button" then choose the name of the title you just created, and click OK. Once you do that you will notice that the text turned into a hyperlink that you can click on to bring you to the section of the page you just tagged. FYI it is important to note that sometimes the hyper link requires you to hold CTRL and then click. To disable that go to TOOLS-->OPTIONS-->EDIT TAB--> AND uncheck "Use CTRL + Click to follow hyperlink".

FYI I just tried it and it does work. Not too hard to do.

The main thing is that your target has be be tagged/formatted in someway so Word can locate it.
