Bookmarks are shortcuts to specific places within a document. They can be very useful when you need to make a table of contents, or when you want to jump from one part of a long document to another without scrolling. To create a bookmark in your document, follow these steps:

1. Click on the part of the document where you want to place the bookmark.
2. Click the "Insert" tab.
3. Select "Bookmark" from the displayed toolbar.
4. Type the name of the bookmark in the "New Bookmark" field.
5. Click "OK."

However, a bookmark is only useful when you can link to it. To create a link to a bookmark, follow these steps:

1. Highlight the part of your document that you'd like to turn into a link. Alternately, you can just click on a blank space in your document and have the link created there.
2. Click the "Insert" tab.
3. Select the "Link" icon displayed in the toolbar.
4. In the "Link To" section, select the "Bookmark" option.
5. In the "Bookmark" section, choose the bookmark you want.
6. Click "OK."

Although you'll be able to see the new link in your document while in "Edit" mode, you'll have to either right click on the link and select "Open link in this window" or select "Preview" at the top of the page in order to try the link out. In "Preview" mode, you'll be able to click the link and have it jump to the bookmark.

Finally, you can also customize your links, using the options under "Insert" > "Link" > "Link Display." There you can enter new text for your link with the "Text" option. With the "Flyover" option, you can enter the text that appears when the viewer's mouse cursor is over the link. If you'd like to speed up this process, the keyboard shortcut Ctrl-k lets you add links to your documents a little faster.
