I have a fair sized document using Word Mac 2011. The document uses Headings 1 and 2.

I created a table of contents using the TOC generator - it worked perfectly and inserted the links so that if you click on a TOC entry it jumps to that section of the document. The problem is converting to PDF. When I go to the TOC links do not work.

Create a hyperlink to a document or an email address. You can add a cell or an object as a hyperlink that opens a range with a defined name or a specific cell reference in an Excel workbook. You can also link to a Word document, a PowerPoint presentation, a file, or an email address. Select the cell or object that you want to make into a hyperlink. Because of how hyperlinks work, they appear as a colored link in MS Word; you can't see what they were built to do until you edit the link or click it to see what it does. Hyperlinks are used in other contexts, too, like on websites.

I've tried saving as PDF from word, converting to PDF using web converters, emailing the file to myself and using a PC to convert to PDF. Nothing works. Any help would be appreciated.

I was able to create working hyperlinks in Word 2011 for the 2 links that have no accented characters or spaces: The other three pages have accented characters and spaces between words. Using spaces is a bad practice in a URL, but not something you can control. Word replaces a space with the%20 character, the acute i with%C3%AD and the acute o with%C3%B3. The browser is unable to parse the hyperlink and does not display the page.

In Word 2007, click the Microsoft Office Button, click Word Options, and then click Display. In Word 2003 and in Word 2002, click Options on the Tools menu, and then click the View tab. To correct this problem, install the program that is associated with the document type that is specified in the hyperlink.

New Hyperlinks do not work in PDF. After a recent Word 2016 for MAC update, my new hyperlinks are not carrying through into PDF. The old links work as well as always; the new links are underlined, blue, but do not go anywhere. My latest update is 180410. Yes, this is happening in the same document. I help creating relative hyperlinks in an Excel spreadsheet that will work whether the spreadsheet is on a Mac or PC. I plan to distribute CD/DVDs to people containing a document list (an Excel spread.

I can open the same document in Word 2016 for Mac and it doesn't have any problem with those same hyperlinks. As in the Windows versions, they work as expected. So upgrading will solve this problem for you. Unless you are using Office 365, you can keep Word 2011 installed when you upgrade to 2016. Then you can access to both versions in case there is some vital feature missing in 2016. Brandwares - Advanced Office template services to the graphic design industry and select corporations.
