Be able to add and delete bookmarks/hyperlinks
Document Production – Bookmarks & Hyperlinks
In this section you’ll learn how to add and delete bookmarks and hyperlinks, just like adding or removing sticky notes and links in a digital notebook. 📚🔗
What are Bookmarks?
Bookmarks are like sticky notes you place on a specific page or paragraph in a document. They let you jump straight to that spot without scrolling. Think of them as “quick‑access pins” in your digital book. 🗂️
Adding Bookmarks
- Place your cursor on the paragraph you want to bookmark.
- Go to Insert ➜ Bookmark (or press
Ctrl + Shift + B). - Type a name for the bookmark (no spaces) and click Add.
- You can now jump to it by selecting the bookmark name from the list.
Deleting Bookmarks
- Open the Bookmark dialog again (Insert ➜ Bookmark).
- Select the bookmark you want to remove from the list.
- Click Delete (or press
Ctrl + Shift + D). - Confirm the deletion if prompted.
What are Hyperlinks?
Hyperlinks are like doors that open a new web page or another part of the same document. They’re the digital version of a “click here” sign. 🚪➡️🌐
Adding Hyperlinks
- Highlight the text or image you want to turn into a link.
- Press
Ctrl + Kor go to Insert ➜ Hyperlink. - Enter the URL (e.g.,
https://www.example.com) or choose a document location. - Click OK and the text will become a clickable link.
Deleting Hyperlinks
- Select the linked text.
- Right‑click and choose Remove Hyperlink (or press
Ctrl + Shift + K). - The text reverts to normal, but the link is gone.

Exam Tips 📌
- Show the exact menu path you would use (e.g.,
Insert → Bookmark). - Use the correct keyboard shortcuts if the question asks.
- Explain that bookmarks are internal to the document, whereas hyperlinks can link to external web pages.
- Practice selecting a bookmark name from the list before deleting it.
- Remember that deleting a hyperlink removes the link but keeps the text unchanged.
