How to Insert a Bookmark Into a Word Document

Bookmarks in Micorsoft Word are similar to bookmarks in a book.

Finding specific areas of a word document is easy when you set bookmarks. These electronic tags are attached to certain text in the document similar to a physical bookmark. Bookmarks are useful when the word document is very long. Editors use bookmarks to mark the location they stopped editing. Document creators set bookmarks to note areas of the document that are not complete. By setting a bookmark, word users can easily return to the exact spot they left off.

Instructions

1. Open the Microsoft Word document.

2. Click and drag the mouse to select the text.

3. Click "Insert" and choose "Bookmark".

4. Name the bookmark. Click "Add".
