Microsoft Word has the ability to add hyperlinks to any bookmark or heading within the current document. The process basically works the same as adding web-based hyperlinks.

Select the text or image which will become the link and then right-click to bring up the popup menu.
Select the Hyperlink menu option.
In the resulting "Insert Hyperlink" dialog, select "Place In This Document" and when a list of existing Headings and Bookmarks appear, choose where you want the link to go.
You can also add a Screen Tip (the text which appears during mouseover) using the "Screen Tip" button on this same dialog box.
Press the "OK " button when you are done and the hyperlink will be created.

To Create Destinations for your in-document hyperlinks...

Headings - any text within the document which has either the "Headings 1" or "Headings 2" style applied to it will appear in the "Place In This Document" list of the "Insert Hyperlink" Dialog box.
BookMarks - select any block of text and then click the "BookMarks" button from the "Insert" tab-bar and when the "BookMarks" dialog box appears, enter a short name for your bookmark and press the Add button. This will make the selected text into a bookmark which will appear in the "Place In This Document" list of the "Insert Hyperlink" Dialog box.

As for adding hyperlinks to maps, I know that you can select an entire image from within your document to become the hyperlink. It appears that you can also create what is called an "Image Map" in which multiple transparent shapes float above your image within the document, and each of those shapes can be a hyperlink with a separate destination and screen tip. I have no experience using image maps within Word.
