Reusing a Bookmark

As you learned in other issues of WordTips, bookmarks allow you to assign names to text or to positions in your document. In this way you locate them easily, just like when you put a physical bookmark in a book to save your place. To reuse a bookmark you previously defined, follow these steps:

1. Position the insertion point where you want to insert the bookmark, or select the text you want to name with the bookmark.
2. Select the Bookmark option from the Insert menu. You will see the Bookmark dialog box. (Click here to see a related figure.)
3. Select the name of the bookmark you want to redefine.
4. Click on Add.

You aren't, of course, adding a new bookmark. Word recognizes the existing name that you selected in step 3 and then redefines it to point to the selected item or position from step 1.
