Having a table of contents (TOC) with hyperlinks is one requirement of the procedures to submit a thesis or dissertation. Hyperlinks allow a reader to click on any part of your table of contents and navigate directly to that page. This tutorial will show you how to create a hyperlinked table of contents using Word and Adobe Acrobat on the PC.
