Word provides several tools for navigating long documents, two of whichbookmarks and cross-referencesenable you to jump easily to designated places within the same document. Both tools require you to mark locations in the document and name them. See Also For information about using hyperlinks to jump to other locations, see "Adding Hyperlinks" later in this chapter. For information about using the Document Map to jump to any paragraph styled as a heading, see "Displaying Different Views of a Document" in Chapter 1, "Exploring Word 2007." Whether the document you are reading was created by you or by someone else, you can insert bookmarks to flag information to which you might want to return later. Like a physical bookmark, a Word bookmark marks a specific place in a document. After inserting a bookmark, you can quickly jump to it by displaying the Bookmark dialog box, clicking the bookmark you want to locate, and then clicking Go To. Tip Alternatively, you can display the Go To tab of the Find And Replace dialog box, click Bookmark in the Go To What list, and then select the bookmark you want from the Enter Bookmark Name list. If you are developing a long document, you can create cross-references to quickly move readers to associated information elsewhere in the document. You can create cross-references to two types of elements: Headings, figures, and tables, for which Word automatically creates pointers Manually created bookmarks If you later delete an item you have designated as the target of a cross-reference, you will need to update the cross-reference. In this exercise, you will insert a bookmark and then jump to it. You will also create a cross-reference, edit the referenced item, and then update the cross-reference. USE the 04_Bookmarks document. This practice file is located in the Chapter08 subfolder under SBS_Word2007.

Word has already created bookmarks for headings down to the fourth level by removing articles (a and the), spaces, and punctuation and initial capping words. For example, notice the DoesCustomerAlreadyHaveAccount bookmark for the fourth-level Does the customer already have an account? heading on this page.
The name that already appears in the Bookmark Name box is the name of the bookmark selected in the list below, not a suggested name for your new bookmark. Replacing it will not delete that existing bookmark.
| 5. | In the Bookmark name box, type CreditCheck, and then click Add.
Troubleshooting Bookmark names cannot contain spaces. If you enter a space and then type a character, the Add button becomes inactive. To name bookmarks with multiple words, either run the words together and capitalize each word or replace the spaces with underscores for readability. The Bookmark dialog box closes, and although you can't see it, a bookmark named CreditCheck is inserted into the document.
