You might find yourself working on several parts of a document at once. Or perhaps you're reading what you wrote and need to remember a specific spot to come back to. Whatever the reason, often it's necessary to, well, put a bookmark in your document. When you mark your place in a book, you can dog-ear it by folding down a corner of the page — but that's tough to do on a PC without bending the corner of your monitor (which wouldn't work anyway).
Welcome to Word's Bookmark command.
Setting a bookmark
To mark your place in your electronic document, set a bookmark by following these steps:
1. Put the toothpick cursor where you want to place a bookmark.
2. Choose the Insert-->Bookmark command (or, if you have three hands, try Ctrl+Shift+F5).
The Bookmark dialog box opens, as shown in Figure 1.

3. Type a name for the bookmark.
Be clever! The name reminds you of where you are in your document. So if you're creating a term paper, memorable flags for various parts of your document (and their original sources) would be proper.
 | By the way, bookmark names cannot contain spaces. You can use unique capitalization if you like, however, as shown in Figure 1. |
4. Press Enter or click the Add button.
Finding a bookmark and moving to that spot in your document
To return to a bookmark, use the Go To command, as shown in the following steps. These steps keep you from turning the page and losing your train of thought:
1. Press the F5 key.
The Find and Replace dialog box splats across your screen.
2. Highlight Bookmark on the Go To What list.
Bookmark is the fourth item down.
The Enter Page Number box changes to read Enter Bookmark Name. Your most recent bookmark appears in that space.
If you don't see your bookmark, click the down-arrow and you see a long list of bookmarks in your document. Click the one you want.
3. Click the Go To button.
You're there!
4. Click the Close button to get rid of the Find and Replace dialog box and return to editing your document.
