A bookmark in Word is just like a bookmark that you would use to mark your place in a novel. You use bookmarks to mark a location in a document so that you can quickly find and jump back to it.
- Select the text you want to bookmark.
You can select text, select a picture, or simply place the cursor at a specific location.
- Check the Insert tab.
- Expand the Links group, if necessary.
- Click the Bookmark button.
The Bookmark dialog box opens.
- Type the name of the bookmark.
- Click Add.
The bookmark is created and can be used to jump directly to the selected spot in the document.
Bookmark names can be from 1 to 40 characters in length, must begin with a letter, and can only contain numbers, letters, or the underscore character — no spaces.
- From the Insert tab, click the Links group again, if necessary.
- Click the Bookmark button.
The Bookmark dialog box, in addition to letting you create bookmarks, also displays the bookmarks you’ve already added.
- Select a bookmark from the list.
- Click the Go To button.
Word jumps directly to the bookmarked location.
If you want to delete a bookmark, you can do so from the Bookmark dialog box.
- Click Close when you're done.
Press Ctrl + G to open the Go To dialog box, which is another place you can search for and jump to bookmarks.
