Adding Headings and Bookmarks in Word

A heading is a way of seperating sections by displaying important text in a different style, font, colour, etc... For example, the "Adding Headings and Bookmarks" text above is a heading.

A bookmark is much like a real bookmark. It is used to make a location, page, or section in a document easily accessible.

Reasons to add headings and bookmarks in Word:

• To make text stand out
• To distinguish between different sections or break up content
• To make a section easily accessible
• To make different sections easy to get to for a table of contents

Use headings and footers to improve the overall look and usability of your documents.
