Bookmarks in Word allow you to assign names to text and mark positions in your files so you can more easily navigate long documents. Think of bookmarks in Word like bookmarks you put in books to mark your place.
Just like in a real book, Word allows you to move a bookmark to another location in the document. Moving an existing bookmark in Word can also be considered reusing that bookmark.
In our example, we have a bookmark defined for the text shown in brackets on the image below. We want to reuse that bookmark name and move it to another location. So, we select the text where we want to move that bookmark to and then click the “Insert” tab.
NOTE: You can also create a bookmark without selecting text. Simply place the cursor where you want to put the bookmark.
In the Links section of the Insert tab, click the “Links” button and then click “Bookmark”.
NOTE: If your Word window is wide enough, you can click directly on “Bookmark” in the Links section.
On the Bookmark dialog box, select the bookmark name you want to move, or reuse, and click “Add”.
The bookmark is moved to the newly selected text or new position in the document. The bookmark name has been reused in a different place in the document.
Clicking “Add” to reuse or move a bookmark can be misleading. You aren’t actually adding a new bookmark. Word recognizes the existing bookmark name and redefines it to point to the newly selected text or new position in the document.

If you work with long documents in Word and prefer not to use Master Documents or separate files, you can use bookmarks to jump to specific places in your document.
Inserting bookmarks in Word is like putting a bookmark in a book to mark your place. Bookmarks in Word are codes that are inserted into your document, but they are not visible (unless you make them visible) and do not print.
NOTE: This procedure works the same in Word 2007, 2010, 2013, and 2016, except where noted.
To insert a bookmark at a specific point in your document, insert the cursor where you want the bookmark and click the Insert tab on the ribbon.
NOTE: You can also highlight text where you want to place a bookmark.
Click Bookmark in the Links group on the Insert tab.
On the Bookmark dialog box, enter a name for the bookmark in the edit box below Bookmark name and click Add.
NOTE: Use a descriptive name for each bookmark to help you know what text is located at each bookmark. We just used “Bookmark1” as an example, although it is not the best name for a bookmark.
Bookmarks are not visible by default. To be able to view the bookmarks in your document, click the File tab and click Options.
NOTE: If you are using Word 2007, click the Office button and click Word Options at the bottom of the Office menu.
On the Word Options dialog box, click Advanced in the list on the left. On the Advanced screen on the right, scroll down to the Show document content section and select the Show bookmarks check box so there is a check mark in the box. Click OK to save your changes and close the dialog box.
If you placed the cursor at a specific point when inserting a bookmark, the bookmark displays as an I-beam, as pictured below.
If you selected text when inserting a bookmark, the selected text is surrounded by brackets indicating the location of the bookmark.
NOTE: Bookmark brackets are useful when you need to modify text or other content enclosed by a bookmark without deleting the bookmark itself.
To jump to a bookmark, you can use the same Bookmark dialog box you used to insert the bookmark. Access the Bookmark dialog box from the Insert tab as discussed earlier in this article. Select the desired bookmark from the list and click Go To. The Cancel button becomes a Close button you can use to close the Bookmark dialog box.
You can also jump to bookmarks using the Find and Replace dialog box. To use this method, click the Home tab on the ribbon and click the drop-down arrow on the Find button in the Editing group.
The Find and Replace dialog box displays with the Go To tab active. Select Bookmark in the Go to what list and select a bookmark from the Enter bookmark name drop-down list. Click Go To. The Find and Replace dialog box remains open after jumping to a location. Click Close to close the dialog box.
You can add bookmarks the the different sections in your document to make it quicker and easier to get to those sections. Because bookmark symbols are not printed, you can set up bookmarks for headings, images, paragraphs, and even items such as imported objects and audio files.
A bookmark in Word 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 or Outlook message, 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 the location
Select text, a picture, or a place in your document where you want to insert a bookmark.
Click Insert > Bookmark.
Under Bookmark name, type a name and click Add.
Note: Bookmark names need to begin with a letter. They can include both numbers and letters, but not spaces. If you need to separate words, you can use an underscore ( _ )—for example, First_heading.
Go to the bookmarked location
After creating your bookmarks, you can add links to them within your document or jump to them at any time.
Jump to a bookmark
Type Ctrl+G to open the Go To tab in the Find and Replace box. Under Go to what, click Bookmark. Enter or select the bookmark name, and then click Go To.
Link to a bookmark
You can also add hyperlinks that will take you to a bookmarked location in the same document.
Select the text or object you want to use as a hyperlink.
Right-click and then click Hyperlink .
Under Link to, click Place in This Document.
In the list, select the heading or bookmark that you want to link to.
Note: To customize the Screen Tip that appears when you rest the pointer over the hyperlink, click ScreenTip, and then type the text that you want.
If you’re having any issues or problems with bookmarks, read about the various techniques to troubleshoot bookmarks.
Delete a bookmark
Click Insert > Bookmark.
Click either Name or Location to sort the list of bookmarks in the document.
Click the name of the bookmark you want to delete, and then click Delete.
If you have inserted a hyperlink to the deleted bookmark, right-click the linked text and then click Remove Hyperlink.
Note: To delete both the bookmark and the bookmarked item (such as a block of text or other element), select the item, and then press Delete.
Bookmarks in Word allow you to name text and mark positions in your files so that you can more easily navigate long documents. Think of bookmarks in Word as bookmarks that you place in books to mark your spot.
Browse long documents in Word Use bookmarks
As in a real book, Word allows you to move a bookmark to another location in the document. Moving an existing bookmark in Word can also be considered to reuse that bookmark.
In our example, we have a marker set for the text that is displayed in parentheses in the image below. We want to reuse that bookmark name and move it to another location. So, we select the text where we want to move that marker and then we click on the “Insert” tab.
NOTE: You can also create a bookmark without selecting text. Just place the cursor where you want to place the marker.
In the Links section of the Insert tab, click the “Links” button and then click “Bookmark.”
NOTE: If your Word window is wide enough, you can directly click on “Bookmark” in the Links section.
In the Marker dialog box, select the name of the marker you want to move or reuse and click “Add.”
The bookmark is moved to the newly selected text or to the new position in the document. The bookmark name has been reused in a different place in the document.
How to rename a bookmark in Microsoft Word Use a free add-in
Clicking “Add” to reuse or move a marker can be misleading. You are not actually adding a new bookmark. Word recognizes the name of the existing bookmark and redefines it to point to the newly selected text or the new position in the document.
You can also rename your bookmarks after you have created them with a free plugin.
In Microsoft Word, you can bookmark a word, paragraph, table, chart, or image. Adding a bookmark in a document provides a shortcut to information you want to reference again later. A bookmark saves you time and frustration by not needing to look at every page to find that one important detail or very helpful chart. If you no longer need a bookmark, you can remove it at any time.

To add a bookmark in a Microsoft Word document, all you need to do is:
- Highlight the text/image you want to bookmark
- Go to Insert >Links on the ribbon and click Bookmark
Inserting a bookmark.
The “Bookmark” menu.
This will mark the highlighted section with a bookmark. Keep in mind that you cannot use spaces in a bookmark name. If you need to separate two words, though, you can use an underscore between them.

- Go to Home >Editing on the main ribbon
- Click Find and select Go To from the dropdown menu
- Select “Bookmark” from the list titled Go to What

If you’re looking for information about creating bookmarks using Publisher, you might be interested in either:
Hyperlink bookmarks that you can use to create jumps to specific locations on a page in a publication.
Bookmark templates that you can use to create bookmarks for books.
This article describes how to create bookmarks for books. For information about how to create hyperlinks in a publication, see Create a hyperlink in Publisher.
What do you want to do?
Use a template
Not all versions of Publisher include publication designs that are intended exclusively for use as bookmarks. However, you can easily adapt another existing publication design for use as bookmarks.
Publications that are set up to print multiple copies per page, such as postcards, business cards, or gift certificates, can be customized for use as bookmarks. You can also create bookmarks from scratch.
Create a bookmark from scratch
This procedure creates a sheet of bookmarks that are printed four per page on 8.5-by-11-inch paper, with room for trimming.
Create a new publication by choosing More Blank Page Sizes in the template list.
Under Custom, click Create new page size.
In the Create New Page Size dialog box, type 2″ in the Width box, and then type 7.5″ in the Height box.
In the Name box, enter a name for the new custom page size.
Click OK to close the dialog box, and then click Create to create the bookmark.
Customize your bookmark publication by adding any pictures, graphics, or text that you want. You can also customize by selecting color schemes or font schemes. For more information about any these tasks, search Publisher Help.
If you want to print content on the back of your bookmark, create a two-sided bookmark by adding a new page to your publication. On the Insert menu, click Page.
To print your bookmark publication, click Print on the File menu, and then select the options that you want.
Under Settings, click One page per sheet, and then choose Multiple copies per sheet in the list.
Next to Copies of each page, enter 4. You should now see four bookmarks on one page in print preview.
If you are printing two-sided bookmarks on a duplex printer, you may need to change the options in the Print dialog box to choose how you want your publication to be printed on both sides. The available options in the Print dialog box vary, depending on what kind of printer you are using. If the Print on Both Sides, flip sheets on short edge option is available, select it to ensure that the content on each side of your bookmark is printed in the same direction. You may need to print a test sheet to determine what settings work best.
If you are printing two-sided bookmarks to a nonduplex printer, you need to print the first side of your bookmark publication first and then flip the sheets, reinsert them into your printer feed tray, and then print the second side. Print a test sheet first to determine which direction you need to flip the paper before you print the second side.
Print your bookmarks on heavy paper or card stock so that they are durable.

Looking for a way to repeat text in Ms Word? This simple guide is for you! Microsoft Word is a great word processing tool. In everyday life, computer users are much familiar with creating letters, documents and presentations. For a simple word processing, Ms Word would be a best choice to work with.
For simple and static documents, users don’t usually include dynamically populated text. They are used to with simply typing the documents statically. But at times there may be a lot of information needs to be auto-populated in a document. Ms Word 2019 has built-in feature to repeat or auto populate certain text throughout the document.
Repeat text in Ms Word with document property fields
To keep it simple, lets see a readily-available option in Word for repeating certain text. Start with a blank Microsoft Word document, go to the “Insert” tab on the Ribbon. Now click on the “Quick Parts” option available in the “Text” group at the right side. Then hover over the “Document Property” option at the bottom. There, you will find 15 predefined properties such as “author”, “abstract”, “category” etc. See the Figure 1 below:
At first, these properties look simple but in reality these are very useful instead. You can then click on any property you want to insert in your document. After inserting any property, change its value i.e. change the text as per your needs. Then copy/paste the same fields wherever you want to repeat the same text in the document.
Every time you change the text of any property, the same text will then be auto-populated throughout the document.
What’s next?
There are other methods available too to repeat text in Ms Word. Though this is a most robust, dynamic and readily available option. Other methods will be discussed in the next post. A short screen cast is given below to highlight the whole procedure. Check it and I hope it helps. Share your thoughts in comments below, thank you 🙂

When you have a long document and need to return to specific locations in the document later for editing or want to make it easier for readers to browse the document, use the Bookmark feature in Microsoft Word. Rather than scroll through page after page in a document, quickly return to bookmarked locations to resume your work.
Instructions in this article apply to Microsoft Word for Microsoft 365, Word 2019, Word 2016, and Word 2013.
Insert a Bookmark Into a Word Document
Bookmarks are placed at a specific point within the text; bookmarks don’t govern the document as a whole.
Position the cursor at an insertion point you want to mark or select a section of text or an image.
Go to the Insert tab.
If the Word window is narrow, the Links group content collapses into a single Links icon with a drop-down arrow. The bookmarking and cross-referencing commands migrate into that drop-down menu.
In the Links group, select Bookmark.
In the Bookmark name text box, enter a name for the bookmark.
The bookmark name must start with a letter and cannot contain spaces. Use the underscore character to separate words. If you insert multiple bookmarks, enter a descriptive name that is easy to recognize.
Select Add to place the bookmark.
View Bookmarks in a Document
Microsoft Word doesn’t display bookmarks by default. To see the bookmarks in the document:
Go to File and select Options.
In the Word Options dialog box, select Advanced.
In the Show document content section, select the Show bookmarks check box.
Select OK.
The text or image that you bookmarked appears in brackets in the document. If you didn’t make a selection for the bookmark and only used the insertion point, you’ll see an I-beam cursor.
Return to a Bookmark
Jump to a bookmark using the Word keyboard command Ctrl+G to open the Find and Replace dialog box with the Go To tab displayed. In the Go to what section, select Bookmark and choose the bookmark name.
Remove a Bookmark
When you no longer need the bookmarks in your document, remove them. From the Bookmarks dialog box, highlight the bookmark and select Delete.
If you delete the material (text or image) that you bookmarked, the bookmark is also deleted.
If you’ve added bookmarks to a document and they’re causing you trouble, the first troubleshooting step is to make sure you can see them. By default, Word doesn’t display them.
To show the bookmarks in your document, follow these steps.
Click File > Options > Advanced.
Under Show document content select Show bookmarks and click OK.
If you add a bookmark to a block of text or an image (or any other item), the bookmark appears in brackets:
If you didn’t select anything when you added the bookmark (meaning you just placed your cursor in an area), the bookmark appears as an I-beam:

An error message appears instead of text
Word displays “Error! Bookmark Not Defined.” or “Error! Reference source not found.” when you update a field that has a broken link to a bookmark. You can restore the original text by pressing Ctrl+Z immediately after receiving the error message. You can press Ctrl+Shift+F9 to convert the text in the field to regular text.
To investigate the broken link, try the following:
Make sure that the bookmark still exists People sometimes accidentally delete bookmarks when they delete other text. To check for this, make sure you can see the bookmarks in your document.
Make sure that field names are spelled correctly Many items that use bookmarks — for example, cross-references and indexes — are inserted as fields. If the field name isn’t spelled correctly, you might get an error message. To learn more about field codes, read Field codes in Word.
An item that refers to a bookmark isn’t updated correctly
Word inserts cross-references as fields. If a cross-reference doesn’t reflect changes you make in the bookmark it refers to, update the field. Right-click the field code, and then click Update Field on the shortcut menu.
Bookmark is missing from an AutoText entry
When you create an AutoText entry that contains a bookmark, make sure you select all of the text contained in the bookmark, including the opening and closing bookmark brackets.
If you store text that contains a bookmark as an AutoText entry, Word stores the bookmark with the entry. If you insert the AutoText entry more than once in a document, Word removes the bookmark from the previous entry and attaches it to the most recent entry.
To learn more about AutoText, read Automatically insert text.
Unexpected results when you edit a bookmark
You can cut, copy, and paste items that are marked with a bookmark. You can also add text to, and delete text from, marked items. Below are changes you can make to bookmarks and the results you can expect.
Copy bookmarks
If you copy all or part of a bookmarked block of text or an image to another location in the same document the bookmark remains with that original item and the copy is not marked.
If you copy an entire marked item to another document both documents contain identical items with identical bookmarks.
Cut and delete bookmarks
If you cut an entire marked item and then paste it in the same document the item and the bookmark move to the new location.
If you delete part of a marked item the bookmark stays with the remaining text.
Add to bookmarks
If you add text between any two characters enclosed in a bookmark the additional text is included in the bookmark.
If you click directly after the opening bracket of a bookmark and then add text or graphics to the item the addition is included in the bookmark.
If you click directly after the ending bracket of a bookmark and then add to the item the addition is not included in the bookmark.

Add Bookmarks in Word: Video Lesson
The following video lesson, titled “ Inserting Bookmarks ,” shows how to add bookmarks in Word. This video lesson about how to add bookmarks in Word is from our complete Word tutorial , titled “ Mastering Word Made Easy v.2019 and 365 .”
Bookmarks in Word are useful for navigating through your document, allowing you to quickly jump to specific parts of it. You can add and remove bookmarks, but Word does not let you rename them. However, we’ll show you a way around that limitation.
RELATED: Navigate Long Documents in Word Using Bookmarks
For example, maybe you initially named your bookmarks Bookmark1, Bookmark2, etc. and now you want to give them more meaningful names. The free add-in, Bookmark Tool, allows you to rename your bookmarks, as well as perform other tasks on your bookmarks. First, download Bookmark Tool and extract the downloaded file. The files are actually Word templates containing macros that provide the functionality for working with bookmarks.
NOTE: The templates are in the old file format from Word 2003 and earlier (.dot). However, they work just fine in Word 2007 and later versions (which normally use the newer .dotx format).
The quick and easy way to install and manage Word add-ins is on the Developer tab on the ribbon, so that’s the method we’re going to use to add the Bookmark Tool add-in to Word. If you don’t see the Developer tab, you’ll need to enable it, and then click on it once it’s enabled.
In the Add-ins section, click “Word Add-ins”.
The Templates and Add-ins dialog box displays. On the Templates tab, click “Add”.
On the Add Template dialog box, navigate to the folder containing the template files you extracted. Select the “MyBookMarkAddin.dot” file and click “OK”.
The template file is added to the list in the Global templates and add-ins section on the Templates tab. Make sure the template file is checked and click “OK”.
NOTE: If you want to temporarily disable an add-in, you can simply uncheck the add-in on the Templates and Add-ins dialog box, rather than removing it.
By default, Word automatically disables macros to protect you from any potentially unsafe, active content in your documents. A yellow Security Warning message bar displays under the ribbon. We’ve tested these template files and they are safe. So, click “Enable Content” so the macros in the template file you added can run.
Click on the Add-ins tab that was added to the ribbon.
In the Custom Toolbars section of the Add-ins tab, click “Open Bookmarker”.
The Bookmark Tool dialog box displays. All the bookmarks in the current document display in the list box below the Browse button. Click on the bookmark you want to rename. Word jumps to that bookmark in the document and selects it. Then, select the “Rename selected bookmark” check box.
NOTE: You can also use the “Browse” button to browse through your bookmarks.
If you haven’t selected a bookmark in the list to rename, you’ll see the following dialog box. Click “OK” and then select a bookmark.
Once you’ve selected a bookmark, enter a new name for that bookmark in the edit box in the Add/Rename Bookmark section and then click “Rename”.
If you have other bookmarks in the current document you want to rename, follow the same procedure above for each one. Click “Close” when you’re done.
The new names for the bookmarks also display in Word’s Bookmark dialog box. To access bookmarks in Word, click the “Insert” tab.
Then, click “Bookmark” in the Links section. You may have to click the “Links” button to access the tools in that section, if you’ve resized your Word window down in size. If your Word window is wide enough, all three tools in the Links section will be available directly on the tab and not as a drop-down menu.
The Bookmark dialog box lists all the bookmarks in your document, including the new names you assigned using the Bookmark Tool. You can jump to bookmarks using this standard Bookmark dialog box in Word, but notice that it’s lacking all the other tools provided in the Bookmark Tool.
The Bookmark dialog box in word allows you to add new bookmarks to your document by highlighting text in your document while the Bookmark dialog box is open, entering a name for the bookmark in the edit box in the Bookmark name edit box, and clicking “Add”. You can add new bookmarks the same way using the Add/Rename Bookmark section of the Bookmark Tool. In addition, you can move bookmarks with granular precision using the various spinner arrow buttons in the Reposition section and delete bookmarks with or without deleting the text range (if you selected text when creating the bookmark). The Bookmark Tool add-in expands on the bookmark functionality in Word, adding several useful tools.
I have a shape in a Word document that I need to move to a bookmark location.
I tried to use the “left” and “top” properties, however, this does not work because to my knowledge, bookmark does not have “left” and “right properties.
I have tried to use cut and paste, but this does not work for shapes.
The following is the code to create the shape:

Instead of using a bookmark could you use an Absolute Position on the document somewhere?
This is a very old thread, but the basic premise is still valid, and it is possible to insert a control at a bookmarked location (here a bookmark named ‘bmShape’) using VBA as shown below.

INTRODUCTION
This article describes how to create absolute hyperlinks and relative hyperlinks in Microsoft Office Word 2010, in Microsoft Office Word 2007, and in Microsoft Office Word 2003.
More Information
Word automatically creates a hyperlink when you type the address of an existing Web page, such as into a document. This behavior occurs only if you have not turned off the automatic formatting of hyperlinks functionality. You can also create customized hyperlinks to documents on a computer or on a network share. These hyperlinks can be absolute. Or, these hyperlinks can be relative to the Word document that you are working with.
By default, the Update links on save option in Web Options is turned on in Word. Therefore, when you create a hyperlink in a Word document, Word converts the hyperlink into a relative hyperlink.
Definitions and examples
Hyperlink
A hyperlink is colored and underlined text or a colored and underlined graphic that you click to open any one of the following items:
A location in a file
A Web page on the Web
A Web page on an intranet
A Gopher, Telnet, or File Transfer Protocol (FTP) site
Additionally, you can click a hyperlink to view newsgroups.
Absolute hyperlink
An absolute hyperlink is a hyperlink that contains the full address of the destination file or of the Web site. The following address is an example of a full address in an absolute hyperlink:
Hyperlink base
A hyperlink base is the path that is shared by the file that contains the hyperlink and the destination file.
Relative hyperlink
A relative hyperlink is a hyperlink that contains an address that is relative to the address of the destination file. The address of the destination file is also known as the hyperlink base.
For example, a document has the following hyperlink base:
C:\Documents and Settings\ Username\My DocumentsA document that is named “Sales.doc” is located at the following file path:
C:\Documents and Settings\ Username\My Documents\April\Sales.docThe relative hyperlink to this document contains only the relative address to Sales.doc. Therefore, the relative hyperlink contains the following address:

Create a text form field that lets you enter text once and have it appear automatically elsewhere in the document, such as the date shown in the file’s header.

Dennis O’Reilly began writing about workplace technology as an editor for Ziff-Davis’ Computer Select, back when CDs were new-fangled, and IBM’s PC XT was wowing the crowds at Comdex. He spent more than seven years running PC World’s award-winning Here’s How section, beginning in 2000. O’Reilly has written about everything from web search to PC security to Microsoft Excel customizations. Along with designing, building, and managing several different web sites, Dennis created the Travel Reference Library, a database of travel guidebook reviews that was converted to the web in 1996 and operated through 2000.
The company I work for relies on Microsoft Word templates to create all sorts of documents, from one-page letters to reports several hundred pages long. The templates allow us to ensure all the documents we send to clients and partners share a similar look and feel.
One of the most-used templates in our collection is a multipage letter that shows the date on the top of the first page, just under the company logo, as well as in the header of subsequent pages. Unfortunately, the letters are usually composed several days before they’re sent, and the send date often shifts. In addition, the letters are sometimes sent on dates other than the official “sent” date. That’s why we can’t add a field to the letters that displays the current date.
While authors usually remember to change the date on the letter’s first page, they almost always forget to make the same change to the date in the header of following pages. The solution was to add a text form field to the first page of the letter that authors use to enter the letter’s send date and then to place a cross-reference to the text field in the header of subsequent pages.
Word form fields make it easy to repeat text
It’s actually easier to enter text once and have it repeat elsewhere in Word 2003 documents than it is to do the same thing in Word 2007 and 2010. That’s because Microsoft made it more difficult to access the text form field button in the more-recent versions of Word. All in the name of ergonomics, I’m sure.
In Word 2003, open the template you want to add the repeating text to. Make sure the Forms toolbar is visible by clicking View > Toolbars > Forms. Next, place the cursor where you want the repeating text to appear and choose the text form field button on the Forms toolbar. (It’s the “ab” button on the far left of the toolbar.)
Add a text form field to a Word 2003 document by clicking the “ab” button on the Forms toolbar. Microsoft
A gray box appears with five small circles side-by-side. Click in the box to add short, descriptive text, such as “Enter send date.” Double-click the box to open the Text Form Field Options dialog box. The people using the template will enter the text they want to repeat in the “Default text” box. For now, keep that field blank, but enter a short, descriptive text string in the Bookmarks field at the bottom left of the dialog box (no spaces or punctuation allowed). When you’re done, click OK to close the dialog and return to the template.
Add a text form field in your Word template to allow authors to add text that repeats elsewhere in the document. Microsoft
To have whatever text the authors enter in the text form field appear elsewhere in the document, add a cross-reference to the field wherever you want the repeated text to show up. As I explained above, the company I work for needs the date that the authors enter on the first page to appear in the header of the second and all following pages of the document.
The first step in adding such a cross-reference is to create a section break to prevent the header information from appearing on the first page of the document. Place the cursor at the end of the first page, click Insert > Break, and choose Next Page under Section Breaks. Double-click in the header of the second page and uncheck Link to Previous. The Same as Previous tag will disappear.
Next, click in the header where you want the repeating text to appear and choose Insert > Reference > Cross-reference. In the Cross-reference dialog box, choose Bookmark in the Reference Type drop-down menu and select the bookmark you just created from the list of bookmarks that appears near the bottom of the window.
Choose the bookmark you just created in the Cross-reference dialog box to have the text field’s data repeat in the location of the reference. Microsoft
When they use the template to create a document, whatever text authors enter in the text form field on the first page will appear in the header of the second and subsequent pages (or wherever you place the cross-reference). Authors simply double-click the text field to open the Text Form Field Options dialog, enter the text they want to repeat in the “Default text” box, and click OK.
After they save and reopen the document, that text will appear in the text box as well as all bookmarked locations in the document. To see what the text looks like right away, use the Print Preview option without actually printing the file.
Repeating text automatically is trickier in Word 2007 and 2010
I fully expected the process of adding such cross-references to be easier in the newer versions of Word, but doing so actually requires several added steps in Word 2007 and 2010. First, you have to make sure the Developer ribbon is visible; it’s hidden by default. To unhide it, click File > Options > Customize Ribbon, and check Developer under Main Tabs on the right side of the Word Options window.
To add a text form field in Word 2007 and 2010, you have to unhide the Developer ribbon via the Word Options dialog box Microsoft
Once the Developer ribbon is enabled, choose it and select the Legacy Tools button in the Controls section of the ribbon. In the drop-down box that appears, select the Text Form Field icon on the far left of the top row. From this point, the steps for adding the bookmarked text field and cross-references are nearly identical to those described above for Word 2003.
Note that the text field and cross-references look different in the Word 2007 and 2010 template than they do in the Word 2003 template. Also, you create a section break in the two newer versions of Word (to prevent the repeated text from appearing in the header of the document’s first page) by clicking the Page Layout ribbon, choosing Breaks, and selecting Next Page under Section Breaks.

Bookmarks in Word are useful for navigating through your document, allowing you to quickly jump to specific parts of it. You can add and remove bookmarks, but Word doesn’t allow you to rename them. However, we will show you a way around that limitation.
Browse long documents in Word Use bookmarks
For example, maybe you initially named your bookmarks Bookmark1, Bookmark2, etc. and now he wants to give them more meaningful names. The free add-on, Bookmarks Tool, allows you to rename your bookmarks as well as perform other tasks on your bookmarks. First, download bookmarks tool and extract the downloaded file. The files are actually Word templates that contain macros that provide the functionality for working with bookmarks.
NOTE: The templates are in the old Word 2003 and earlier file format (.dot). However, they work fine in Word 2007 and later versions (which typically use the newer .dotx format).
The quick and easy way to install and manage Word Add-ins are under the Developer tab on the ribbon, so that’s the method we’ll use to add the Bookmark Tool add-in to Word. If you don’t see the Developer tab, you’ll need to enable it and then click on it once it’s enabled.
In the Add-Ins section, click on “Word Add-Ins.”
The Templates and Plugins dialog appears. On the Templates tab, click “Add.”
In the Add Template dialog box, navigate to the folder that contains the template files that you extracted. Select the file “MyBookMarkAddin.dot” and click “OK.”
The template file is added to the list in the Global Templates and Plugins section on the Templates tab. Make sure the template file is checked and click “OK.”
NOTE: If you want to temporarily disable a plug-in, you can simply uncheck the plug-in in the Templates and Plug-ins dialog box, instead of removing it.
By default, Word automatically disables macros to protect you from any potentially unsafe active content in your documents. A yellow safety warning message bar appears below the tape. We have tested these template files and they are safe. So, click “Enable Content” so that the macros in the template file you added can run.
Click on the Plugins tab that was added to the ribbon.
In the Custom Toolbars section of the Plugins tab, click “Open Bookmark”.
The Marker Tool dialog appears. All bookmarks in the current document are displayed in the list box below the Browse button. Click the bookmark you want to rename. Word jumps to that bookmark in the document and selects it. Then select the “Rename selected bookmark” check box.
NOTE: You can also use the “Browse” button to browse your bookmarks.
If you have not selected a bookmark in the list to rename, you will see the following dialog. Click “OK” and then select a bookmark.
Once you have selected a marker, enter a new name for that marker in the edit box in the Add / Rename Marker section and then click “Rename”.
If you have other bookmarks in the current document that you want to rename, follow the same procedure above for each one. Click “Close” when done.
New bookmark names are also displayed in Word’s Bookmark dialog box. To access bookmarks in Word, click on the “Insert” tab.
Then click on “Bookmark” in the Links section. You may have to click the “Links” button to access the tools in that section, if you’ve resized your Word window down in size. If your Word window is wide enough, the three tools in the Links section will be available directly on the tab and not as a drop-down menu.
The Bookmark dialog box lists all the bookmarks in your document, including the new names you assigned with the Bookmark tool. You can jump to bookmarks using this standard bookmark dialog in Word, but note that it lacks all of the other tools provided in the bookmarks tool.
The Bookmark dialog box in Word allows you to add new bookmarks to your document by highlighting text in your document while the Bookmark dialog box is open, entering a name for the bookmark in the edit box in the Bookmark Name edit box, and doing click on “Add”. You can add new markers in the same way using the Add / Rename Marker section of the Marker Tool. Additionally, you can move markers with granular precision using the various spinner buttons in the Reposition section, and delete markers with or without deleting the text range (if you selected text when creating the marker). The bookmarks tool plugin extends the functionality of bookmarks in Word, adding several useful tools.
When using Microsoft Word, you may feel the need to repeat a specific action multiple times. This may involve reusing preset text or inserting specific text with intricate formatting. It can be a chore, and you may be wishing for an easier way to do it. Thankfully, there is one! By making use of Word’s macros, you can automate repetitive actions and make your life simpler.
What Are Macros?
So, what are macros? The best way to think of macros is as a series of instructions. You set out a series of steps that you want Word to automate, then tell Word to perform those steps whenever you like. This makes automation very easy, and can save a lot of time and effort. The easiest way to create a macro is to allow Word to record your actions, then physically perform your desired actions within the document. Once recorded, you can tell Word to repeat what you did at any time.

Making a Macro
So now that we know what they do, let’s learn to make a macro in Microsoft Word! In this example we’ll be creating a macro that automatically creates a table. This might be a useful feature if you occasionally see yourself needing to create a new table without manually making a new one or copy-pasting an existing table.
First, we need to tell Microsoft Word how to make our table. To do this, we click on “View,” then “Macros,” then “Record Macro.”
We name our macro here. For this example we’ll call it “CreateTable.”
Underneath the naming box are two buttons, “Button” and “Keyboard.” This is where you pick if you want to activate your macro via a button within Word or by pressing a hotkey on your keyboard.
Selecting the Button Option
If you select “Button,” you’ll be taken to a new popup window. It may look confusing at first, but it’s just Word allowing you to add the button to the Quick Access bar. This is where we want our button, so we’ll select the macro and click “Add >>” to add it to the list on the right.
With the macro still selected, click “Modify…” at the bottom of the list.
Here you can choose what icon your button uses. Pick something that suits your macro, then OK out of all windows.
Selecting the Keyboard Option
If you select the keyboard option, you can define which hotkey to assign the macro to. It’s compatible with quite a few combinations, such as Ctrl + [Key] and Ctrl + Shift + [Key] , so pick out a hotkey that suits you. Word will let you know if anything is currently assigned to that hotkey so you don’t interfere with existing shortcuts. Once you’ve found the perfect key combination, click “Assign.”
Recording the Macro
Now that you have set up the method of activation, Microsoft Word will begin recording your actions. While it’s recording, any actions you now perform in the document will be remembered in the macro. In this example, we create our table and fill it out with the essential fields. Because our actions are being recorded, we should be careful and not make any mistakes!
Once the table is done, we click “View,” then “Macro” again, and then click “Stop recording.”
Now that our macro is recorded, we can make this table at any time we like. If we assigned it to a hotkey on the keyboard, we can press those keys to insert a table. Likewise, if we made a button for it, we can find that button in the Quick Access bar.
Regardless of which method we selected for the macro, our table is replicated when we activate it. Now we can recreate our base table with little hassle!
Deleting a Macro
When your macro has outlived its use, you can get rid of them by simply clicking “View,” then “Macros,” then “View Macros.”
Select the macro you don’t want anymore, then click “Delete.”
Macro Safety
While macros can be used to make life easier, they can also have nefarious intents! Never run macros that have come from an untrusted source or download a Word document attached to a suspicious email. “Macro viruses” can be a real problem, so make sure you stay safe when using them.
Macros Made Easy
When you need to perform repetitive actions in Word, a macro can come in great use. Now you know how to make a keyboard or button macro, how to record it, and how to use it once it’s made.
Do you see yourself using macros a lot? Do you already? Let us know below.

word automation – move cursor to bookmark
word automation – move cursor to bookmark
I have inserted a bookmark into a word doc named TXT with the command- loselection.bookmarks.add(“body”)
I have searched and tried many combinations of code trying to move to the bookmark when i later open the document.
1. loselection.goto.bookmarks(0,”TXT”,0)
2. loselection.goto.bookmarks(“TXT”)
3. loselection.goto.bookmarks(wdgotobookmark,;
“TXT”,wdsortbyname,.f.)
And several more combinations with no luck
A tip go get me started will be greatly appreciated!

RE: word automation – move cursor to bookmark
Don’t go to the bookmark. Just act on it:
loDoc.Bookmarks(“Txt”).Range.Text = “My new data”
In general, the best way to do automation with Word is with range objects rather than the selection object.
RE: word automation – move cursor to bookmark
RE: word automation – move cursor to bookmark
Not sure, but maybe something like this:
loWord.Selection.GoTo(-1, 1, “MyBookmark”)
The -1 means “bookmark” and the 1 is the occurrence.

Mike,
thanks for the tip. I find the following when testing:
In a document with 6 lines of text and a bookmark at the bottom, i keep getting invalid paramaters with
oWord.Selection.GoTo(-1, 1, “MyBookmark”)
*move down to the bottom
FOR i=1 TO 6
loword.selection.movedown
endfor
loWord.Selection.GoTo(1,1) – takes you back to the top
I will keep looking and post back what i find.

RE: word automation – move cursor to bookmark
I’m not really an expert on this. I got that code by recording a macro in Word trying to translate its code from VBA to VFP. But I wasn’t sure about all the parameters.

RE: word automation – move cursor to bookmark
The Help for Goto is misleading. If I remember correctly, you need to omit the second and third parameters when you’re addressing bookmarks.
RE: word automation – move cursor to bookmark
RE: word automation – move cursor to bookmark
Tamar,Mike
Thanks for the nudge in the right direction. I found that
*move insertion point to the first character in line 4
#define wdgotoline 3
#define wdgotoabsolute 1
oword.selection.goto(wdgotoline,wdgotoabsolute,4)
*move insertion point to bookmark named “three” odoc.Bookmarks(“three”).Select
I was unable to get this to work with any set of parameters
#define wdgotobookmark -1
oword.selection.goto(wdgotobookmark,”three”)
RE: word automation – move cursor to bookmark
The GoTo method has 4 parameters. If I remember right, you need to pass all 4 for bookmarks, with the middle two omitted:
Actually, I just looked it up where I had it and this should work.

A recordset Bookmark is a special marker that you place in your recordset so you can quickly return or refer to it at some later stage. For example, to move from your current position in the recordset to check or change a value in some other part of the same recordset, you could set a Bookmark, move to the other spot, make your changes, and then return to where you were in the first place.
In terms of recordsets, a clone is a functional replica of the original. A clone of a recordset points to the same data as the recordset it was copied from. Changes made to the data in the clone are reflected in the original recordset. The difference is primarily in navigation. Using a cloned recordset, you can navigate or search for data without moving the cursor in the original recordset. For example, you might want to search for data in a form without changing the record position of the form. Using a clone, you can perform the search, and then when you find the data you’re looking for, save the current Bookmark for the clone. Once the Bookmark has been set, then set the Bookmark in the original recordset to move its cursor.
Using Bookmarks
When you open a recordset, every row is automatically assigned a unique internal Bookmark, and as you will soon see, creating a reference to a Bookmark is simply a matter of setting the value of a variable. So there is really no practical limit to the number of bookmarks you can set. When you close the recordset, the internal Bookmarks are lost, and any Bookmarks you have set become invalid.
Although recordsets based entirely on Access tables always support Bookmarks, not all recordset types do. Recordsets based on external data sources may not allow them. For example, recordsets based on linked Paradox tables that have no primary key do not support bookmarks. For that reason, you should always check the Recordset object’s Bookmarkable property before attempting to use Bookmarks on non-Access recordsets.
Using Bookmarks is much faster than using the other recordset navigation methods. The following procedure demonstrates how to use Bookmarks for record navigation:
Now What About Those Clones?
As mentioned earlier, a clone is a functional replica of the original. Now let’s take a closer look at how to use them. There are two clone methods: Clone and RecordsetClone. Clone is a method of the Recordset object, whereas RecordsetClone is a property of the Access Form object. Both are identical in function, except that you can’t set the Filter or Sort properties for recordsets created using the RecordSetClone property.
Microsoft states in the online help that the recordset returned by the Clone method has no current position when it is first created. Calling AbsolutePosition straight after creating the clone indicates that it does; however, I’m inclined to take Microsoft at its word and not rely on a clone having a current position until after I’ve executed one of the Move methods.
If you use the Clone or RecordsetClone method to create a copy of the original recordset, all the bookmarks are identical because rather than creating a new recordset from scratch, the two clone methods simply point an object variable at the original set of rows. The clone operates on exactly the same data as the original, so any changes made in one are reflected in the other. But (and here’s the nifty part), although the data and bookmarks are identical, you can operate on the clone independent of the original; that is, you can change the cursor position in the clone (by using any of the navigation methods) and have no effect on the cursor position in the original. It is for this reason that recordset clones and bookmarks are usually mentioned together.
Let’s say you are designing a data entry form for customers and that you want to allow the users to type in a customer number, and have the form immediately display the record for the customer with that number. There are several ways to do this, not all of them satisfactory.

The reality is that there is always a possibility of wanting to insert the contents of an entire word document into another one. There is a temptation to copy and paste if you want to insert a Word document into another Word document but there is a better way to handle it instead of copy and paste. The good thing is that word now has a feature that would allow you insert Word document into Word. The question has always been how to insert a word document into another Word document.
Insert Word Document into Word
To insert Word document into Word document, there are steps that needs to be followed as seen below.
- First open the document that would be the receiver of the existing file.
- Let your cursor be in the place that the file will go.
- Go to “Insert” tab > “Text” section > “Object” and then “Text from file”.
It is important to note that some of this steps highlighted to insert Word document into Word may vary depending on the version of word. However, they are almost the same with just some little variation especially for newer version of word but it is not anything to be worried about.
Advantages of PDF Document
There is actually no doubt that no other document format has proven to be superior to PDF. Not only is PDF very popular, it has a wide range of application and features in such a way that someone will just have to use PDF to share documents at some point.
The advantages of using PDF over word cannot be overemphasized. This is because PDF has a lot of good features. For instance, PDF is well secured in such a way that gives you the option of using password to lock you file .
preventing unauthorized access to it. In an office environment, several sensitive documents are shared and that is why they are normally shared using PDF because it provides the protection.
It is also important to note that with PDF, you can also easily integrate images, hyperlinks and other non-text elements. This is why PDF documents have proper layout and easy to read. Then there is also a factor of size. PDF compresses documents to become smaller. Those who would appreciate this feature are normally those who do not have large storage capacity.
Another advantage of PDF is its ability to always maintain document format. In fact, it makes a whole lot of sense to have files remain the same after sharing it. Many other file formats will alter the format when it is shared but PDF will ensure that the document will remain the same way you shared it.

GIF is insanely trending on the internet these days. Moving gifs are tiny clipart’s which expresses an expression. It’s a way of telling a story through photojournalism. People often use GIF instead of emoticon or emojis because GIFs are more accurate and express the exact gesture. You can use it on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and many other social networking sites. Thus, you must know how to Copy and Paste Animated GIFs.
Where to find GIFs?
GIFs are nothing but an image. Go to any search engine, for example, Google itself is gif hosting and type ‘Animated GIF’ in image section and you’ll get plenty of GIFs. Although there are websites which are exclusively for GIFs such as where you’ll get all types of free animated gifs.
Steps to Copy and Paste Animated GIFs?
Copying and Pasting a GIF is as simple as Copying and Pasting any normal image. Open any search engine and search for ‘Animation GIFs ‘and choose the GIF you want to copy. But sometimes knowing how to copy a gif directly from the webpage only copies the first frame of the GIF and not the whole animated version. To avoid that, you need to save the image. For saving the GIF, right click on the image and select ‘Save image as’ and set the location of the saved file.
Once the GIF is saved in your computer, you can copy and paste it just as you do with the regular images. You can put it in any MS word or MS document or even in an email.
Conclusion
I hope that now you’re able to copy and paste animated GiFs easily. Let us know in the comments if you still have any issues. We would be more than glad to help you. Have fun with the Gifs. Cheers!
Whenever I get a new OS I make it a point to at least try all the new ways of doing things. Change is uncomfortable but sometimes the new way is better. Not often, but sometimes!
With Windows 10 I’ve been trying to use Microsoft Edge instead of Chrome. While the actual browsing experience has been pretty solid, there’re almost none of the bells and whistles that help smooth out my day online.
For instance there is no extension support. There’s been talk that Microsoft will add support for Chrome Extensions but we’ll see. For now I don’t know of a workaround.
There’s also no “bookmarklet” support. Bookmarklets are shortcuts that actually run javascript snippets, usually to add a page to a service. For instance I use Instapaper and they offer a bookmarklet that lets me send any page to my Instapaper archive.
The usual way to install a bookmarklet is just to drag it to the address bar, but that doesn’t work in Edge. With a bit of fiddling you can install bookmarklets ‘manually’. Here’s how.
First, you need to expose the bookmark bar. In Edge go to the three dot menu in the top right corner, pick Settings from the drop down, and turn on “Show the Favorites Bar.”
Now at least you have some place to put bookmarklets. I assumed I could just import all my bookmarks from Chrome but doing so didn’t seem to work for bookmarklets. Maybe you’ll have better luck.
Assuming you don’t, there’s more work to do. I found it easy to start by creating some ‘placeholder’ bookmarks. So for example I went to Instapaper’s save page () and bookmarked that, choosing to save it in the Favorites Bar. (By using a page from the site you want to associate with the bookmarklet you wind up with an appropriate icon in the final product.) You should now see your future bookmarklet in the Windows Edge favorites bar, above the webpage content and below the area that holds the location bar and command icons.
Now it’s time to edit that bookmark, and the biggest challenge is finding where Edge hides its bookmark files. I checked on both a Windows 10 Home and a Windows 10 Pro system and I found them at:
Obviously swap in your username for
Now you need to go the service you want to create a bookmarklet for and get the content of the bookmarklet. For example the “Save to Instapaper” bookmarklet has this code:
If you’re coming from Chrome or another browser it might be easier to copy the code from there. For Chrome and Firefox, right click the bookmarklet and choose Copy from the menu that pops up.
OK back to your Edge bookmarklets. Right click on the shortcut you want to convert to a bookmarklet. Pick the Web Document tab and paste the contents of your bookmarklet into the URL: field, then click the Apply box. You can go to the General tab and change the name of the bookmarklet, or you can do that in Microsoft Edge later.
Once you’ve converted your bookmarks to bookmarklets, restart Microsoft Edge and you should be done! So far I’ve used this technique for Instatpaper and Pocket but it should work for any bookmarklet.
It’s worth stating that this isn’t an officially sanctioned technique, and hopefully Microsoft will give us a much more user friendly method soon. It’s possible that when they do, these manually modified versions could cause some issues, and if that happens I can’t be held responsible for any future headaches (though I’ll amend this post on how to fix the problems if this ever happens). You make these changes at your own risk. So far the bookmarklets I’ve added this way have worked and haven’t caused problems but when an operating system is this new, you never know for sure!

For my job, I regularly need to do the same or very similar search queries in Outlook.
Some queries are a bit more complex so redoing them each time is a bit cumbersome.
Is there a way to save my Search queries so I can reuse them later rather than needing to redo them each time?
Unfortunately, you can’t save your Search queries in Outlook. Outlook itself will hold a cache of your past 10 queries but nothing permanent.
There are however a couple of other ways to quickly repeat the same or similar Search queries.
Recent Searches
The Recent Searches feature comes in handy when you want to repeat a search you just did. Outlook stores up 10 recent searches.
- Outlook 2007
Press the little down arrow directly next to the magnifying glass of the Search field to bring up the menu containing Recent Searches. - Outlook 2010 and Outlook 2013
Click in the Search field and use the Recent Searches button on the Search tab.
Extra tip: In Outlook 2010 or Outlook 2013, right click on Recent Searches button and choose “Add to Quick Access Toolbar”. You’ll then be able to repeat a search without clicking in the Search field first.
Create a custom Search form
If you find yourself frequently using fields from the ”Refine” group of the Search tab, then it would be quicker to add the fields to your Search form.
In Outlook 2010 and Outlook 2013, you can add fields via the More button in the “Refine” group. When you close your Search, these fields will be hidden again but will show up again when you click in the Search field for your next query.
In Outlook 2007, you can get this functionality by clicking on the double down arrows on the right of the Search field or by pressing CTRL+ALT+W.
These fields are quicker to fill out and you can use the TAB button to move between them.
Add frequently used Search fields to your Search form to create queries quicker.
Create a Search Folder
To really a Search query for reuse, ironically enough, you shouldn’t use the Search field. Instead, create a Search Folder.
- Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007
File-> New-> Search Folder - Outlook 2010 and Outlook 2013
tab Folder-> New Search Folder - Keyboard shortcut
CTRL+SHIFT+P
At the bottom of the New Search Folder dialog, you can select to create a custom Search Folder with criteria of your own to create your Search query. A basic example can be found here and a bit more advanced here.
On the Advanced tab, you can select pretty much any field in Outlook to choose from. If you want to do even more complex AND and OR searches, you can enable the Query Builder tab.
Extra tip: After creating your Search Folder, you can still use the Search field to refine the results of the Search Folder. This basically allows you to do a static pre-search for the complex part of your query and still have some flexibility.
Create Custom Views
Custom Views are often a bit underappreciated feature of Outlook but they are a great help for saving Search queries as well.
Custom Views basically offer you the same filtering opportunities as Search Folders and has the benefit of even saving a sorting order and which columns to display. In addition, they can also be used on Calendar, Contacts and Tasks folders.
To create a Custom View:
- Outlook 2003
View-> Arrange By-> Current View-> Define Views.. - Outlook 2007
View-> Current View-> Define Views… - Outlook 2010 and Outlook 2013
tab View-> Change View-> Manage Views…
To switch between Custom Views:
- Outlook 2003
View-> Arrange By-> Current View - Outlook 2007
View-> Current View - Outlook 2010 and Outlook 2013
tab View-> Change View
Extra tip 1: In Outlook 2007 and previous, you can quickly change between views by enabling the Advanced Toolbar: View-> Toolbars-> Advanced
Extra tip 2: Custom Views are also available in Search Folders. If you frequently use multiple refinements for your Search queries, you can switch between views to quickly apply or cycle between these refinements. If needed, you can finalize your Search query still via the Search field.
Don’t get stuck just using a single feature, combining them makes them all much more powerful!
When working on a project, it can be helpful to retrace your steps. This is especially true when using Microsoft Word. To help you find where you were last at in Word, Microsoft has a Go Back command that’s not very well known. For this week’s tip, we’ll show you how to use it.
To find out “where in the Word you are,” simply activate the Go Back command with one easy-to-remember keystroke: [Shift]+[F5].
One of the best uses for Word’s Go Back command is when you first open a large document that’s frequently opened and closed. Instead of sifting through the many pages to locate where you last left off (which could be challenging if it’s been a while since you last opened the project), simply use the Go Back command as soon as you open the document. You will then find your cursor located where you last left it; kind of like a bookmark.
The Difference Between Go Back and Undo
At this point you may be thinking, “Doesn’t Undo, [Ctrl]+[z], perform the same function?” There are a couple of differences between the two commands that are worth noting. First off, when a user selects Undo, the work previously done is deleted. To be sure, the Undo command is something that all of us error-prone users are extremely grateful for and frequently use, but sometimes you may just want to go back a few steps without deleting your work.
Another difference between Undo and Go Back in Word is when it comes to memory. Whereas Undo can go back as many steps as your computer’s memory will allow, Go Back only lets the user go back four steps, which is adequate for the needs of most PC users.
Learning new tips, keystrokes, and shortcuts like this allows you to use Word more efficiently and helps you to complete projects more quickly. This way, you can get more done in the workday. Do you know of any more lesser-known keystrokes in Microsoft Office that helps you be more productive? Share them with us in the comments, and keep an eye on our blog for a new tip every week!
