When reading a book, it is helpful to have a bookmark on hand to mark the pages where you left off. Did you know that you can also add bookmarks in the documents you create on Microsoft Word? The same works in Google Docs. A bookmark feature will serve as a marker so you can easily navigate and find the places where you need to go. That way, you save time and effort in looking for the things that you want to see in your Word document.
Aside from creating a bookmark that you can easily check and view, you can also insert or add a link to the bookmark anywhere in your document. You can set the bookmark link on a text, a spot in the file, or an image.
