Preparing your word processed Document for Conversion to PDF (Portable Document Format)
Creating Links from Table of Contents
We recommend setting up your 'Table of Contents' in your word processed document before conversion. In MS Word this can be accomplished through the Insert > Reference > Index and Tables menu. Table of Contents entries are generated as clickable cross-references that link to the respective sections in the body of the document. These links will be preserved through the conversion process to the PDF format.
For further instruction, please use the Graduate Information Literacy's Online Learning page to access a tutorial on Microsoft Word and click on Making documents more readable > Insert a Table of Contents - you will need your University ID number (e.g. u1234567) and your ISIS/HORUS password to log on. The Graduate Information Literacy Program also run regular MS Word courses - in Module D you can learn how to insert a Table of Contents.
