Is it possible when creating a table of contents based on a certain style to have the entries automatically created as hyperlinks all at once upon compilation? Both 97 and 2000?

In Word 97, 2000 and 2002, page numbers in a TOC are hyperlinks; in 97 you can click them directly, in 2000/2002 you must Ctrl-click them to follow the hyperlink. In 97, the entries themselves (the text) are *not* hyperlinks, and I don't think you can change them into hyperlinks easily.
In Word 2000 (& I think 2002, but I haven't used it), if you show field codes (Alt+F9) you can add a hyperlink switch "h" (no quotes) & press F9 to update the entire table & the entire TOC will be a hyperlink. That "feature" isn't available in Word 97...only the page numbers are hyperlinks. The default is to have the h switch in the TOC, so your entries should be hyperlinks just by creating the TOC.
