    Learn how to create a table of contents using bookmarks in Word. Bookmarks allow specific sections of a document, such as text, headings, images, or diagrams, to be marked and linked, making navigation easier—especially when Word styles haven’t been applied. This is useful for those who prefer manual formatting but still want the functionality of a table of contents.By adding bookmarks to different parts of a document, links can be created to jump directly to those sections. This method provides flexibility in formatting and control over the content, offering a customised alternative to the automatic table of contents generated by Word styles.
