There are two ways to do this:
1. The manual way: insert a bookmark at the beginning of the section on each
state. At the top of the document, insert cross-references to those
bookmarks as hyperlinks.
2. The easy way: use headings for the sections and generate a TOC based on
them. Each TOC entry is automatically hyperlinked to the corresponding
section; in Word 2000 and above, you don't even have to have page numbers;
the entries themselves are hyperlinked. In Word 97 and earlier only the page
numbers are hyperlinked. For more, see "Create a table of contents" in
Word's Help.
