Random Microsoft Word Linking Tip

Wednesday, December 20th, 2017

Having problems with links not going to the Heading you linked to in Microsoft Word?

Here’s a random tip that may help.

Do not put slashes in your headers (“Sales/Marketing”). The header will appear just fine, but links may not work properly. Mine were jumping back to the title page for no apparent reason.

The solution is to:

  1. Remove the slash from the header (“Sales and Marketing”)
  2. Cut the text with the defective link
  3. Paste Special as unformatted text, and
  4. Add the link again to the corrected header.

It should work now.

I’m using Microsoft Word for Mac Version 15.37. Can’t say what other versions the bug may affect.
