Created TOC but links look silly

Hi,

I have a TOC like this done in word with numbered lists:

1. asdasd
2. asdasd
3. asdasd
4. asdasd
4.1. asdasd
4.1.1. asdasd
4.1.2. asdasd
4.1.3. asdasd
4.1.4. asdasd
4.1.5. asdasd
4.2. asdasd
4.2.1. asdasd
4.2.2. asdasd
4.2.3. asdasd

But strangely, when I save them to HTML Filtered, word auto-magically links
those to #_Toc88259050 like I see them as ...../asdasd.htm#_Toc88259050 on
my web browser.

The question is:

How do I make word to set hyperlinks to those documents like #4.1.3 instead
of #_Toc88259050

Thanks in advance.

My initial thoughts on providing a reply were in giving you an explanation
of bookmarks, which are a link within a page for both Word and HTML, however
as I started an explanation, I realized that you actually desire to have a
web page name viewed as entirely different name than what it actually exists
as. (Note; part of the aforementioned explanation was related to the naming
of files and/or bookmarks and the restrictions of multiple file extensions
"." [EX; 4.1.1. asdasd] in Word, html and Apache.)

There are ways to accomplish this in htaccess server side modules. I don't
recall the exact module, whether it's Rewrite or Mod_alias or even something
else. In any event, I don't see a possibility of accomplishing what you
desire within Word.

With the absence of server side functions available to you, the only option
I see is creating separate web pages for each of the following:

> 1. asdasd
> 2. asdasd
[quoted text clipped - 10 lines]
> 4.2.2. asdasd
> 4.2.3. asdasd

After creating the individual web pages than you will be able to create the
bookmarks within those pages.

If it's just a matter of renaming bookmarks than it's entirely possible to
edit the Word created html with NotePad and making those bookmark names what
ever you desire.

Another possibility for exploration may be PHP or ASP.

An additional note for you to keep in mind is the directory structure on
your local machine duplicating the website structure, else Word will
automatically correct invalid path links upon saving.

Word was not really intended for html creation, rather in providing a
transport medium to retain and/or return Word formatting to its original
location. There are much better tools for creating html web pages.
