WD2000: Clicking Page Number in TOC Opens Web Toolbar (261162)

SYMPTOMS

When you click the page number in a table of contents in a Word document, the Web toolbar may be displayed.

This problem also occurs when you right-click the page number in a table of contents, point to Hyperlink on the shortcut menu, and then click Open.

NOTE: When you move the mouse pointer over a page number in a table of contents, the mouse pointer changes to a hand.

CAUSE

The page numbers in a table of contents are actually a HYPERLINK field similar to the following:

{HYPERLINK \l "_Toc481556296"}

When Word detects a hyperlink, either an internal document hyperlink field or a Web hyperlink field, Word displays the Web toolbar automatically.

MORE INFORMATION

To hide the Web toolbar, point to Toolbars on the View menu, and then click Web.

A hyperlink is a "hot spot" that allows you to jump to another location. The location can be another file on your hard disk or company's network (such as a Microsoft Word document or a Microsoft Excel worksheet), an Internet address (such as http://www.microsoft.com), or a location such as a bookmark or slide.

The field includes display text, which is often blue and underlined, that you click to jump to the specified location.
