Insert link as cross reference
If you're working with a long Word document, you can make things easier for readers by linking to other parts of the document when they are mentioned. For example, you can tell a reader that they "can find more information on this topic in Part 2". Instead of letting him find part 2 himself, you can insert a hyperlink at the appropriate place. This type of link is often referred to as a cross-reference and, unlike the other links mentioned, does not lead the reader out of the document.
