Inserts a jump command, which helps you view long online documents. When you double-click the results of a GOTOBUTTON field, Microsoft Word moves the insertion point to the specified location in the document. Hyperlinks, which are represented by the HYPERLINK field, are often a better alternative to the GOTOBUTTON field.
Instructions- Destination
- A bookmark, page number, or item such as a footnote or annotation. The page number can be a reference inserted using the Cross-reference command (Insert menu, Reference submenu).
-
Use a letter and number for items other than page numbers; for example, to jump to the third section in a document, type s3
| Letter | Description |
|---|---|
| s | Section |
| l | Line |
| f | Footnote |
| a | Annotation |
Note The number doesn't refer to the actual number of an item. For example, "f4" refers to the fourth footnote in the document, regardless of its reference mark number.
- DisplayText
- Text or a graphic to appear as the "button." You can use a field that results in text or a graphic, such as BOOKMARK or INCLUDEPICTURE. The text or graphic must appear on one line in the field result; otherwise, an error occurs.
In the following example, in which "Summary" is defined as a bookmark, clicking here causes Word to jump to the summary.
Double-click { GOTOBUTTON Summary here } to jump to the summary.
This field and the text surrounding it produce this result:
Double-click here to jump to the summary.
In the following example, a PAGEREF field indicates a page number. To insert the PAGEREF field, click the Cross-reference command on the Reference submenu (Insert menu), and then select the item (such as a table or heading) that you want to jump to. (In the Cross-reference dialog box, make sure that you select Page Number in the Insert reference to box.) You must enclose the letter "p" and the PAGEREF field in quotation marks.
Double-click { GOTOBUTTON "p { PAGEREF _Ref317041789 }" 
} to jump to the summary.
The field displays this result:
Double-click to jump to the summary.
