How to make a clickable table of contents in Microsoft Word

This is how I make my table of contents for Smash words and Amazon.  If you would like to see how they work, you can download my first novel “Rojuun” for free.  (links at the bottom of this tutorial)

I would like to note that this is a tutorial on how I do it.  There is another way that uses styles to create different types of chapter headings, but it’s not something I’ve had success with.  I’d say there’s more than one way to skin a cat, but that’s just mean and my children will beat me up if I do.

Table of Contents

Table Of Content

Chapter 1

Chapter 2

Chapter 3

...

Here is a screenshot of what my hyperlinked table of contents looks like in my first novel.  As you can see, all the chapters have the blue, underlined hyperlinky effect.  (That is the official term)

You may notice that it says “Compatibility Mode” at the top of the document.  Smashwords doesn’t play well with Word 2007 and 2010, so I save everything as a Word 97-2003 document.  I’m using Word 2010, but I originally did this with Word 2003.  The process is the same, but Word 2010 has that ribbon thingy Bill Gates is so proud of at the top.

 

I like the left aligned table as shown here.  You could center it if you like, it’s a personal choice.  You’ll notice that I have my maps on there too.  If you have maps, I highly recommend it.

Okay, so now we get to how to make all of this. 

Make a Table of Contents.

We’ll start with this:

Nothing is hyper linked, just written out.

Bookmarks

The first thing you want to do is create a bookmark.  Select “Table of Contents” and then go to your ‘Insert’ tab.  Click on ‘Bookmark’ in that ribbon:

and you will get a screen like this:

Type in ref_TOC  Then click “Add”  It is important to name it exactly that, because that’s what Smashwords Meatgrinder looks for.  I have this in all of my books with a table of contents.

Okay, the next thing you want to do is make a chapter 1.  We’ll make it 16pt font, centered and bold.

Now it’s time to bookmark “Chapter 1”  Do it exactly the same way, but let’s name it roj_chap1.  The ‘roj’ stands for rojuun.  The ‘_’ is because you can’t use spaces in bookmarks.  The ‘chap1” is because it’s chapter 1.  The reason I name it ‘roj_chap1’ instead of just ‘chapter1’ is because “Rojuun” is the first book of a trilogy.  I sell an omnibus with all three books of the trilogy.  The table of contents has ‘roj_chap1’, ‘ani_chap1’ (“Anilyia” is the second book), and ‘ket_chap1’ (“Kethril” is the third book).

Creating the links

Now it’s time to hyperlink the table of contents to the chapter.  Select ‘Chapter 1” in the table of contents, go to the insert tab and click on ‘Hyperlink’

You will get a screen like this:

On the left, you want to ‘Link to:’  “Place in this Document”.  That will bring up your bookmarks.  Select ‘roj_chap1’ (or whatever you call your chapter 1) and click OK.  That will make your blue hyperlinky Chapter 1 in the table of contents.

If you click on it, it will take you to the beginning of chapter 1.  Repeat this step for every chapter and you will have a working table of contents.  You can do the same thing for your maps too.  Select the map, the same way you did the chapter and add a bookmark to it.  I name mine ‘map_ryallon’.  Then hyperlink ‘Map of Ryallon’ in the Table of Contents (or whatever you call your map.

Linking your chapters back to the Table of Contents.

This is a wonderful tool for the reader to get back to the beginning of the book, especially if they want to be able to glance at the map and then return back to the chapter they’re on.

For this, you want to select the Chapter 1 heading and select hyperlink:

This time, select ‘ref_TOC’ as the place to link it to.  That will link it back to the Table of Contents.  You can do this with every chapter.  You get an underlined chapter heading.  (It’s purple now instead of blue because I’ve clicked on them)

Hidden bookmarks.

I discovered that clicking on hyperlinks within a document creates hidden bookmarks, like this:

The ‘Hlt…….’ Bookmarks are the hidden ones.  They are unnecessary and take up extra space, so before I publish, I always delete all of those.

In conclusion.

So that’s the basics.  If you want to test the links, just press shift and left click the mouse.  This works wonderfully on the Kindle Touch and Fire, which I’ve been able to test.  I hope this helps for you too.

Fixing the Windows Bootloader by command line

If you have dual boot system like Windows xp and Windows 7 ,

After Repaired win xp  there will not showing windows 7 boot loader in your boot menu.

Because win xp  boot loader was overwrite win 7 boot loader.

Therefore install older O/S and have to Repair newer windows version Bootloader and can Add older windows path to that loarder.

While installing older version first and newer version after that. newer version windows (it is usefull for other O/S like Linux) will be replace newer boot loader and keep older boot loader for access older version.

But after repair or re install older version again. problem is arise...

To Repair that...

Put your Windows setup DVD or your System Repair Disc in the drive and restart your PC. 

 Assuming you’ve properly configured your BIOS to boot from CDs/DVDs before hard drives (or you can press DElL ,  F2 to go BIOS or press F8 before end up post test .

 While restart after set First Boot device as CD /DVD  you should get a prompt asking you to “Press any key to boot from the CD/DVD…“

 pls select advance recovery tools or cancel.  After Display tools pls select Command Line.

 

Pls type the command

bootsect /nt60 c: /force /mbr

bcdboot c:\windows /s c:

What these commands do:

Writes a new mbr to c:
bootsect /nt60 c: /force /mbr
( command, /nt60 = use boot code that is compatible with BOOTMGR, / = force dismount, / = write mbr )
( bootsect does to touch mbr, it works on the selected drives…ahem….wait for it…bootsector)

Write a new bootloader to the C: drive
bcdboot c:\windows /s c:
( command, look in c:windows for files, copy files to c: (actually c:\windows\boot) )

If not Fixed pls type the drive that showing your DVD 

Ex:

D:

D is my DVD Rom (Win 7 DVD in the Drive.

You can confirm it by this picture . There are Boot Folder , Boot mgr and Setup.exe files and folders in the DVD.

you can type this command to fix boot loader.

D:\> D:\boot\bootsect.exe /nt60 all

You will see showing the Msg after run the command " Successful "

Restart the PC

 The Pc will boot in Windows 7 .

bcdedit /displayorder {ntldr} /addlast

Also you can use EasyBCD free software to add xp boot line

select Add Entry

select windows xp /2000/...

enable check box for Determine Drive automatically

and select ok

For dual-booting and other boot related projects I use EasyBCD.

I highly recommend you check out this FREE program.

Dual-booting as well as bcd backup and repair are just some of the things you can do.

Getting Better Battery Life from Your Smartphone

Getting Better Battery Life from Your Smartphone

 As technology continues to improve in the wireless industry, cell phones and tablets are doing much more in less time.  We have the ability to make payments, unlock applications through fingerprint scanners, and read barcodes from our mobile phones.  Take a guess at how many applications are available through all the app markets...over 1.7 billion!  So our phones have more functionality, access to more applications, transmit more data, have better processors, and run faster upload & download speeds, but one thing hasn’t improved – battery life.

As phone technology has developed at an amazing rate, battery life seems to have gotten worse.  My iPhone 5S battery seems to have about half the life of my iPhone 4, which I was using 4 years ago.  And compared to the flip-phone I used 8 years ago, where a full charge would last days, new 4G phone batteries can be dead after hours of heavy use.  This is no shocker, as phones are doing more and transmitting data at all times, but here are some tips to help save battery life when you need it.

1. Set the “sleep mode” on your phone to 1-2 minutes.  When your phone’s screen is turned off, it’s using much less battery.

2. Turn the backlight brightness down.  If the screens brightness is turned all the way up, you’re using more battery while your phone is turned on.

3. Kill background apps when they’re not being used.  If you just were using Waze, the CNN app, or google maps, programs will continue to run in the background.  You can kill these apps after your done using them, and it will help to save on battery life.

4. Perform backups at night, using wifi, when your phone is on the charger.  Backups through gmail, icloud, Verizon cloud, and backup assistant use a good amount of battery life, especially when it’s done on your service provider’s network.  Set automatic backups to run on wifi, and do them when you’re phone is normally on a charger (i.e. in the middle of the night).

5. If you’re really in a pinch to conserve battery life, turn off wireless data for your applications.  Almost all aps transmit data, even when the applications are not open and being used.  You can turn off data to applications, or you limit the data to wifi.

6. Don’t worry about waiting until your battery is dead to charge it.  Phone batteries are typically lithium-ion these days.  The old rule, waiting until your phone is dead to charge it, no longer applies.  It’s good to occasionally let it fully run down before charging it, but don’t worry about doing it every time.  If you expect to use your phone a lot, or you need as much battery as possible, fully charge it regardless of how much battery life you have left.

7. If you’re in a remote area with bad coverage, turn off the data and cellular signals.  Your phone is going to spend a lot of effort and battery life trying to find a signal, and if the coverage is really bad, you probably won’t get a signal anyway.  Restrict the data and cellular signal, or put the phone in airplane mode, and you’ll have some battery life left when your back in service and need it.

8. Things like GPS apps, streaming video, and streaming music will deplete your battery life quickly.  Anything that constantly relies on data transmission will use up the battery faster than normal.

9. Choose the right phone.  If battery life is extremely important to you on a daily basis, look into phones that come with extended batteries.  Phone like the Droid Maxx, LG G2, and the HTC One Maxx all have larger stock batteries for better life.

10.  Extended batteries and external chargers.  Aside from a few phones with internal batteries (i.e. iPhones and some Android devices), most phones have an extended battery which will provide longer battery life.  It is even possible to put en extended battery in an iPhone or android phone with an internal battery, although it’s a lot of work and it may void the manufacturing warranty.  In additional to extended batteries, you can purchase an external, portable battery pack. 

     

     These are very common and I use on all the time.  Anytime I travel, or know that I won't have access to a power source (car or home), I bring my portable charger with me.  They are small, have mulitple connection ports for different devices, and can fully charge a device 1-3 times depending on the portable charger.

Windows 8/8.1 How to refresh, reset, or restore your PC

How to refresh, reset, or restore your PC

Applies to Windows 8.1, Windows RT 8.1

If you're having problems with your PC, you can try to refresh, reset, or restore it. Refreshing your PC reinstalls Windows and keeps your personal files and settings. It also keeps the apps that came with your PC and the apps you installed from the Windows Store. Resetting your PC reinstalls Windows but deletes your files, settings, and apps—except for the apps that came with your PC. Restoring your PC is a way to undo recent system changes you've made.

If you want to back up and restore your personal files using File History, see Set up a drive for File History If you want to restart your PC, see Shut down (turn off), sleep, or hibernate your PC.

Before you start to refresh or reset your PC

In most cases, once you start to refresh or reset your PC, it’ll finish on its own. However, if Windows needs missing files, you’ll be asked to insert recovery media, which is typically on a DVD disc or thumb drive. If that happens, what you’ll need depends on your PC.

If your PC came with Windows 8.1 or Windows RT 8.1, you’ll need the discs or thumb drive that came with your PC. Check the info that came with your PC to see if your PC manufacturer provided these discs or media. In some cases, you might have created them when you first set up your PC.

If you upgraded your PC to Windows 8.1 or Windows RT 8.1 with a DVD, use that disc. If you don’t have Windows 8.1 or Windows RT 8.1 media, contact Microsoft Support.

To refresh your PC

1. Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, tap Settings, and then tap Change PC settings.
   (If you're using a mouse, point to the upper-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer down, click Settings, and then click Change PC settings.)
2. Tap or click Update and recovery, and then tap or click Recovery.
3. Under Refresh your PC without affecting your files, tap or click Get started.
4. Follow the instructions on the screen.
