Congrats, Susan, you've restarted the list! :-) You should be getting an error message when you create the link, since you have "Validate Command upon Insertion" selected and you're creating a hyperlink to a destination that doesn't exist. In your first step 4, you created a "Named Destination," naming it "checklist." That created a marker at the place you want to jump to. In the second step 4, when you create a "Jump to Named Destination," you must enter the name you gave the destination -- "checklist" -- not the word at the destination point. The hyperlink points to a marker, not a word in the text flow. In this case, it should be the "checklist" marker you created to mark the destination. HTH! Richard Richard G.
