Turn your Word doc into a PDF with a live table of contents

Jon Berger asked for a way of “creating PDFs with automatic links in the table of contents” to chapter titles in the main body of the document.
 

A long report needs to be broken up into sections. Readers will want shortcuts to the chapters that most interest them. So, if you’re distributing your reports as PDFs, you’ll want live tables of contents in which readers can easily go to the chapters they want to read.
Fortunately, this is easy to do in Word 2010 or 2013 (I haven’t tested this in earlier versions).

 
First of all, you need to set up your document properly. Use Word’s outline styles—Heading 1, Heading 2, and so on—to organize your report. For instance, you might want to assign large section titles as Heading 1, chapter titles as Heading 2, sub-chapters as Heading 3, and so on.
By the way, using these headings has other advantages. You can select View>Outline and work on your document as a collapsible outline. Also, the left tab of the Navigation pane uses these styles.

But back to the table of contents.

When you’re ready to distribute your document, select the References tab and click Table of Contents. Select a table design.

You’ll now have a table of contents at the top of your document. What’s more, each item on it will be a link that will take the reader to another part of the document.
Now you have to convert it to a PDF. And forget about print-to-PDF programs such as Bullzip. They’re handy for a lot of things, but I haven’t yet found one that can create a PDF without sacrificing the links. (And when you think about it, the reason is pretty obvious. You can’t expect a “printed” document to be interactive.)

So you have to do the conversion in Word. Press F12 to bring up the Save As dialog box. In the Save As Type pull-down menu, select PDF. Then save the file.
The resulting .pdf file will start with the table of contents. Every line of that ToC will be a link. It won’t be blue, but clicking on it will have the desired effect.

How to Set the Priority of a Message in Outlook 2013

While typing your message, select the Message tab in the Ribbon and click the arrow beside Tags.The Properties dialog box appears. This dialog box enables you to define a number of optional qualities about your message.

Click the triangle beside the Importance box.

A menu of choices drops down.

Choose Low, Normal, or High. Click the Close button (or press Esc) to close the Properties dialog box.

Usually Importance is set to Normal, so you don't have to do anything. Putting a Low importance on your own messages seems silly, but you can also assign importance to messages received in your Inbox, to tell yourself which messages can be dealt with later, if at all.

How To Upgrade Your Windows 7 To Windows 10 Right Away

Now that Microsoft has started rolling out Windows 10 via Windows Update to PC users who have previously reserved their free upgrade, many users are still wondering why they can’t see the update on their Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 PCs yet.
