Step 1: Click the place where you want to insert a bookmark;

Step 2: Click "Insert" tab from the Ribbon;

Step 3: Click "Bookmark" from the "Links" section;

Step 4: In the "Bookmark" window, type a name (e.g., Today) for the bookmark, and click "Add".

A bookmark is added to the Word document but you cannot see it because it is hidden by default. Please check how to show bookmarks if you want the bookmarks are visible.

How to Use a Bookmark

After you add a bookmark, you can easily navigate to the bookmark location by repeating step 2 and step 3 to bring up the bookmark window.

In the bookmark window, choose a bookmark and click "Go To" on the right, the mouse cursor will move to the bookmark location.
