Let’s start with learning how to create simple hyperlinks. This article describes, with the aid of screenshots, how to hyperlink content and create a linked table of contents (TOC). For any long document published online, such as in PDF, a clickable table of contents and active URLs, email addresses, and links to other documents are, in a word, essential and, frankly, expected by readers.Oftentimes, creating these links in your Word document before you convert to EPUB or MOBI (i.e., Kindle) will automatically create the links in the ebook files, especially if you use conversion services, such as those offered by Draft2Digital or freeware like Calibre. This extends beyond tables of contents to URLs that appear in your text, endnote numbers, and the like.
Even if you write and publish long reports as a PDF, you must still consider the best way for readers to access and navigate your document. Authors of books, whether fiction or nonfiction, are choosing to self-publish, and that means making and distributing functional ebooks. Dissertations and theses are often published online. In today’s digital age, much of the content you produce in Microsoft Word will be replicated beyond paper.
