what is bookmark in ms word

A bookmark in Microsoft Word is a specific word, section, or location in a Word document that you want to name and identify for future reference. It works like a bookmark you might place in a book: it marks a place that you want to find again easily. You can enter as many bookmarks as you want in your document, and you can give each one a unique name so they’re easy to identify. To add a bookmark, you first mark the bookmark location in your document. After that, you can jump to the location or add links to it within your document or Outlook message. You can also delete bookmarks from a document or Outlook message. Bookmark names need to begin with a letter, can include both numbers and letters, but not spaces. If you need to separate words, you can use an underscore ( _ )—for example, First_heading. Bookmarks are saved with the document file, so you can assign bookmarks with the same name in different files. To jump to a bookmark, you can type Ctrl+G to open the Go To tab in the Find and Replace box, click Bookmark, enter or select the bookmark name, and then click Go To. You can also add hyperlinks that will take you to a bookmarked location in the same document by selecting the text or object you want to use as a hyperlink, right-clicking, and then clicking Hyperlink. Under Link to, click Place in This Document, and in the list, select the bookmark you want to link to.
