Problem Creating Microsoft Reader Ebook

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

Hi Al!

I have no problems creating a working TOC using the MS Word add-in, and
all I do is make each chapter marker as a Heading (1, 2, or 3) then use
the Insert->Reference->Index and tables->Table of Contents wizard from
the menu bar at the top of MS Word. It works wonderfully well that way,
without using bookmarks or trying to do manual hyperlinking. Name each
chapter marker something meaningful (i.e. Chapter 1, Chapter 2, ... )
and let 'er rip!

HTH,

Hog

Sorry for any confusion, Al.

There are various fonts and styles in MS Word, and in order to make a word
or group of words into a "header", you select it (or them) and use the drop
down menus from the toolbar Format->Styles and formatting...-> and select
Heading 1 (or 2 or 3... up to heading 9). Once your selection has been
marked as a header, you can use the Insert->Reference->Index and tables->
Table of Contents wizard from the menu bar at the top of MS Word.

MS has some tutorials on how to do this, and you can get to the tutorial by
pressing F1 and then typing in "creating a table of contents" and pressing
the green "go" arrow. The tutorial is quite good!

Best of luck,

Hog
