Using Bookmarks in Google Docs

Bookmarks are shortcuts to specific locations within a document This can be useful when you have a long document.and want to provide a way for users to jump from one part of the document to another without scrolling.  You can use this to create a table of contents or maybe have students link text to their sources in a works cited page.

To insert a bookmark, highlight the text where you’d like the bookmark to appear, and Choose Insert > Bookmark from the menu:

Now you should see a blue (bookmark) next to the text.

Now to use the bookmarks we need to link them to some other text in the document.  For this example I will create a Table of Contents.

Highlight the text that you want linked to a specific bookmark you have already created

Then Choose Insert, Link

Choose Bookmarks to expand the Bookmarks list

Then choose the bookmark you want linked to the highlighted text and click Apply.

Repeat as necessary to link more text.

Try it here below.  There are bookmarks/links to each chapter and I also added a bookmark/blink back to the TOC.
