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

    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."
