    Notes: 

    • If you add a bookmark to a block of text or an image (or any other item), the bookmark appears in brackets:
      Bookmark indicated by brackets

    • If you didn’t select anything when you added the bookmark (meaning you just placed your cursor in an area), the bookmark appears as an I-beam:
      Bookmark indicated by an I-Beam.

If you’re having problems with bookmarks, we can help you troubleshoot them.

To learn how to add bookmarks, see Add or delete bookmarks in a Word document or Outlook message.
