53/57 Lessons 

Bookmark

Bookmarks can be used in our document, at a location to highlight this issue later when we want to return, or to navigate in our document.
For example.
You must insert a chart into a document, but first you must finish the script for this document.
To do this you first place the cursor at the location in your document where you want to insert the chart later.
Choose the tab “Insert” in the ribbon.
And click the “Bookmark”.
This opens the dialog “Bookmark”.
In the top box you give the bookmark a name, and click the “Add” button.
This closes the dialog.

Bookmark use

To use the bookmark which you have already created, click the button “Bookmark” again in the ribbon.
The dialog “Bookmark” appears, containing all the bookmarks you made.
Select the bookmark you want to navigate to, and click the button “Go To” in the dialog.

A second way to navigate to a bookmark, is to use the option “Go To” in the ribbon.
This option is found in the tab “Home” under the “Find” button.
Always click the “Search” button, and choose “Go to …” the drop-down menu.
This opens the dialog “Find and Replace”, in which the tab “Go To” is selected.

Select “Bookmark” in the menu on the left, and all the bookmarks that are used are shown when we click the downward pointing arrow next to the box “Bookmark Name”.
Select the bookmark and click the button “Go to”.
This brings you to the bookmark in your document.
The dialog remains open, if you want still navigate to another bookmark.
Click the “Close” button when you want to close the dialog.

Show Bookmarks

By default, bookmarks do not appear in our document.
Yet we have the opportunity to display it.
Just click the Office button at top left in the application.
Click the button “Word Options”.
This opens the dialog “Word Options” where you choose the “Advanced” tab.
Scroll down, and in the “Show document content” check the box for the text “Show Bookmarks” on it.

When text is selected as we add in the bookmark, it will display the text in square brackets in our document.
And when no text was selected when we added in a bookmark, it will display the Roman numeral I.

Deleting bookmarks

To delete a bookmark, click the “Bookmark” in the tab “Insert” from the ribbon.
In the dialog that appears, choose the bookmark you want to delete, and click the “Delete” button.
Bookmarks can only be removed one at a time.
After you remove all the bookmarks you want to delete, click the “Close” button in the dialog.
