We have been covering INSERT commands the last couple of weeks. You can read these at http://www.users.bigpond.net.au/kfainges/insert.html.

INSERT => BOOKMARK allows you to mark areas of the page so you can come back to them later, just like putting a bookmark into a book.

This is helpful in two ways. If you are reading a long document, you can set the bookmarks, just by going INSERT => BOOKMARK, typing in a word that will jog your memory and hitting add.

Then to go back to that bookmark at any time, you can go to INSERT => BOOKMARK and click on Go To. Another way to to the same thing, is to double-click on the very bottom of the page where it gives the Page, Sec and number of pages ( Page 1      Sec 1    1/1). This will bring up a box. On the left, under Go to What, is a list of ways to travel throughout the document. Click on bookmark. This will then give you a drop down box on the right. Click on the arrow to list all your bookmarks, then left click on the one you want to go to. Then hit Go To. If you only have one bookmark, you can click on Go To straight away as the bookmark will already be selected.

Once you no longer need that bookmark, you can delete it if you want to by going INSERT => BOOKMARK and clicking on that bookmark then hitting Delete.

The second use is to make it easier for people to read your long documents. You can set bookmarks in all the places you want them to go, then add hyperlinks to make getting around easier. You might have noticed documents, especially ones on the internet, with little marks saying 'go back to the top" or something similar. Bookmarks is how they do that.
