How to Create a Bookmark in MS Word

If you have ever used any type of bookmark, either the physical kind that you use to keep your page in a book or the virtual kind that you use to keep track of your favorite Web pages, you understand the concept of bookmarks in MS Word. If you want to go back and revise part of a lengthy document later or otherwise want to be able to return quickly to a specific area of the file, you can insert a bookmark. In fact, you can insert multiple bookmarks and give each one a unique name.

Instructions

1. Select the text or object you want to bookmark or place your cursor in the spot you want to bookmark in your Word document.

2. Go to the "Insert" menu in Word 2003 and select "Bookmark." In Word 2007 or 2010, go to the "Insert" tab and click "Bookmark" in the "Links" group. The "Bookmark" dialog box will open.

3. Type a name for the bookmark in the "Bookmark Name" box.

4. Click the "Add" button. The bookmark will be added to your Word document.

5. Find a bookmark in any Word document by opening the "Bookmark" dialog box. Click on the name of the bookmark and click the "Go To" button. Word will take you directly to the section of the page where you created a bookmark.
