Use of a bookmark
A bookmark identifies a location or selection of text that you name and identify for future reference. For example, you might use a bookmark to identify text that you want to revise at a later time. Instead of scrolling through the document to locate the text, you can go to it by using the Bookmark dialog box.
- Select an item to which you you want to assign a bookmark, or click where you want to insert a bookmark.
- On the Insert menu, click Bookmark.
- Under Bookmark name, type or select a name.
Bookmark names must begin with a letter and can contain numbers. You can't include spaces in a bookmark name. However, you can use the underscore character to separate words— for example, "First_heading."
- Click Add.
Show bookmarks
- On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the View tab.
