Using Bookmarks in Word 2007 to Navigate Longer Documents

Bookmarks allow you to jump to a specific place in your document when working with longer documents.  The concept is similar to a paper bookmark you may use to mark your place while reading a novel.  A bookmark marks your location so you can quickly jump to it at a later time.

3. Click the Bookmark button on the Links group on the Ribbon.
4. Type a name for the bookmark in the Bookmark name box (Note:  bookmark names cannot contain spaces)
5. Click Add.
