RETURN FROM HYPERLINKS IN WORD
by Neil J. Rubenking

QUESTION:
I am creating a Word 2007 document containing hyperlinks to bookmarks within the same document. Often I create several hyperlinks throughout the document that are all linked to a single bookmark. I should like to arrange matters so that a reader can use a hyperlink and then return direct to the hyperlink last used. Is there any way of doing this?—Gordon

ANSWER:
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.

1.
Click the Office orb at top left.

2.
Click Word Options.

3.
Click the Customize link.

4.
Select Commands Not in the Ribbon from the drop-down.

5.
Double-click the Back button in the list to put it on the Quick Access toolbar.

6.
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-Arrow to return.
