Linking documents in word

I have used this forum once in the past and was happy with the response and the solution. I am one of those old guys who learns what is necessary to complete the job at hand, no formal training in Word. I am an Access programmer however.

I have written some 50 word documents containing procedures for various jobs that volunteers perform at our local hospital. I have created another word document listing all of the procedure documents creating a Table Of Contents.
My objective is to put a hyperlink opposite each document name to display the specific procedure selected. I did this in another case some time ago but system updates and time has displaced how to do this. As I remember it was not a difficult task.

The scenario is all documents are stored in single folder on a shared drive. There would be five work stations that would have access to the documents. I am working in Windows version 1809.

A nudge in the right direction would be appreciated.
