How To Use Bookmarks
Deciding where to insert the bookmarks shouldn't be difficult if the document is mostly done.
Consider how you and your users will actually use the document. The process for inserting a
bookmark is simple:
1. Click where you want to add the bookmark. If you select text, select the smallest string that
makes sense. It's okay to select a word or heading, but it's probably not a great idea to bookmark
an entire paragraph.
2. Click the Insert tab.
3. Click Bookmark in the Links group.
4. In the resulting dialog, give the bookmark a name. Use only letters and numbers with no
spaces (Figure B).
5. Click Add.
After inserting bookmarks, you can then use them to quickly move to other areas of the
document. To use the bookmark in this way, do the following:
1. Click the Insert tab and choose Bookmark from the Links group.
2. In the resulting dialog, select the bookmark you want to move to (Figure D).
3. Click Go To.
4. Click Close.
Inserting bookmarks takes a few clicks, but it's easy. Once they're in place, you're done. On the
other hand, moving to a bookmark might be a task you perform often. Even though doing so
requires only a few clicks, it'll become tedious.
