Insert A Bookmark

Instead of pressing PageUp or PageDn or clicking the scrollbar to thrash around in a long document, you can use bookmarks.

Rather put a bookmark in an important spot in your document that you can return to, many times.

To insert a Bookmark, follow these steps:

1. Click where you want the bookmark to go, or select the text to bookmark.
   
2. Choose Insert Ribbon tab ► Bookmark.

OR

Press CTRL + SHIFT + F5 to go to the Bookmark dialog box.

The size of your window determines what the button will look like.
   
  This will open up the Bookmark dialog box.

3. Type a descriptive name in the Bookmark Name box. You cannot include spaces in bookmark names, but you can use underscores to separate your words.
   
4. Click the Add button.

Word places a bookmark where you've made a selection.

Delete A Bookmark

Once you've inserted bookmarks, you might have been a bit too overwhelming with the bookmarks. Deleting them is as easy as you make them.

To delete a Bookmark, follow these steps:

1. Choose Insert Ribbon tab ► Bookmark.

OR

Press CTRL + SHIFT + F5 to go to the Bookmark dialog box.
   
2. Select the bookmark in the list, which you want to delete.
   
3. Click the Delete button.
   
4. Click Close.

Going To Bookmarks

You can easily go to all the different Bookmarks in a document no matter where the cursor are at the moment.

To go to a bookmark, follow these steps:

1. Choose Insert Ribbon tab ► Bookmark.

OR

Press CTRL + SHIFT + F5 to go to the Bookmark dialog box.
   
2. Double-click the bookmark.

OR

Select the bookmark and click the Go To button.
   
  Notice that the bookmarked text is highlighted in the document.
   
3. Click Close.

You can arrange bookmarks in the list in alphabetical order or by location in the document by choosing Name or Location at the bottom of the Bookmark dialog box.

Click the Hidden Bookmarks check box to see cross-references in the Bookmark Name box, although hidden bookmarks appear as code and don't tell you much about what they are or where they are in the document.
