Make an interactive index in Word
I am making a file of 45 technical sheets that I would like to have linked to the index.
That is, page 1 would have the titles of the 45 technical sheets and by clicking on the links, the corresponding one would open.
How can it be done?
Thanks

Hello Ricard_1967 , check this
Step-by-Step:
Apply Heading Styles to Each Technical Sheet Title
Scroll to the start of each technical sheet.
Highlight the title (e.g., "Sheet 1: Network Architecture").
In the Ribbon > go to Home > Styles group > choose Heading 1.
Repeat for all 45 sheets.
Insert a Table of Contents (TOC)
Go to Page 1 (or where you want the index).
Click References > Table of Contents > Choose a style (e.g., Automatic Table 1).
Word will insert a clickable index with page numbers that link to each heading.
Update as Needed
If you add/move content, click inside the TOC > click Update Table > "Update entire table."
