Preparing your word processed Document for Conversion to PDF (Portable Document Format)
Bookmarks
Bookmarks are used to identify the location of text within a document. They can be used for navigation and to establish cross-references within your document. While Adobe Acrobat 7.0 can be used to create bookmarks (see appropriate section below), we recommend setting up your bookmarks in your word processed document before conversion. In MS Word this can be accomplished through the Insert > Bookmark menu - select text to be bookmarked first. These bookmarks will be preserved through the conversion process to the PDF format.
For further instruction, please use the Graduate Information Literacy's Online Learning page to access a tutorial on Microsoft Word and click on Making documents more readable > Insert Bookmarks - you will need your University ID number (e.g. u1234567) and your ISIS/HORUS password to log on. The Graduate Information Literacy Program also run regular MS Word courses - in Module C you can learn how to insert bookmarks.
