OK. I followed Rgonzo's directions. but don't see the commands.
Crystal: Maybe b/c I did not choose an icon? Please see screenshot of ribbon below. Thanks.

On the customize ribbon like in your first image

??? Not sure what you mean. I already customized the ribbon, but don't see the <-- and --> icons on the ribbon. Thanks.

Crytstal, here you go: Thanks.

@Crystal, did you see the above? Thanks!
Steve

awesome!  I looks like you did it, Steve~ look on your Home ribbon, all the way to the right, for the Web Commands group.

I also notice that the Developer ribbon is not visible -- check the box to show it

Crystal,

Thank you! I had not looked far enough to the right.

Is there a reason to show the Developer ribbon? Not sure I need it at this time...

Thanks again!
Steve

you're welcome, Steve

> "Is there a reason to show the Developer ribbon? "

absolutely!  Why hide things from yourself?  ... you might want to use the Macro Recorder too ~

OK then.  :)  Thanks! I'll try it in a bit. Lunchtime! :)
Steve

OK,
I checked DEVELOPER. :)

But I don't see the the icons...


Now for Macro Recorder, are you saying I should create a macro to take me to the CUSTOMIZE RIBBON screen? (Hope you can read the above, it's small...)

Thanks!

> "But I don't see the the icons..."

your screen shot is the HOME ribbon tab ... DEVELOPER is now a new ribbon TAB that you didn't see before.

> "are you saying I should create a macro to take me to the CUSTOMIZE RIBBON screen"

no, I am suggesting you create a macro when you have a repetitive action to perform ....  

Once you see the DEVELOPER ribbon tab, you can click on it sometimes to get comfortable with its commands, and then begin to learn how it can be more useful ~

OK got it. I've occasionally created macros in the past, but now that I can SEE this tab, maybe I'll be motivated to create them more frequently! :)

Thanks again. Points coming soon...

Steve

Hey, Crystal. I just tried this:

>>by the way, the shortcut key to go back in regular Word documents is Shift-F5
and this has a history ...<<

Maybe I'm seeing this but it seems to act oddly.

1. I brought up a doc I hadn't viewed in a while.
2. Scrolled to table of contents (TOC) and clicked on a link to take me to the section "Accounts Receivable".
3. Pressed [SHIFT-F5]

It took me NOT back to the TOC, but another place in the doc. Could that location be a leftover History entry from the last time I viewed the doc?

Thanks

Nope. Just a simple TOC with links. But what you mention is very cool e.g Alt-Ctrl-1, etc. :)

Thanks,
Steve

you're welcome, Steve ~ happy to help

Thank you, Rgonzo and Crystal! :)

you're welcome ~

adding on to my last comment ... since now I think perhaps you don't know this? ...

Word can make an automatic TOC from Heading levels (default is to go to 3 and can be changed) -- the TOC can be updated as the document is changed with very little effort on your part.

It sound like perhaps your TOC is custom?

Custom?

Do you mean manually entered? :)

My method (admittedly primitive):

For each section in my doc, create a bookmark.
In the TOC insert one hyperlink (pointing to the bookmark) for each section.

Something to keep in mind...is this anything like auto-numbered chapter headings which I'm using for a completely different project...

Thanks.

> "is this anything like auto-numbered chapter headings"

probably

make a test doc with some paragraphs

tag Heading 1, 2, 3, ... in the doc.  then go to the beginning and type [space][ctrl-enter]

this will create a space and a hard page break

than Ctrl-Home to go to top again

then:
REFERENCES ribbon, Table of Contents >
then, for instance, Automatic Table 1

every paragraph, whether you specifically tag it with a style name or not, has one ...

Thanks, Crystal. I will put the above on my to-do list...once I get the doc I'm writing out the door :)

Thanks.

you're welcome, Steve ~ happy to help
